Send the messages to a syslog server, You can then develop scripts or use some open source program
to send the emails.

Pix does not send alerts to email addresses

What version PIX OS? ver 7.x and above only have a feature to send syslog messages via snmp.

It is running 6.3(5). Is there any other way to get the PIX to send alerts? 3rd Party or otherwise.
Like harbor235 noted, setup a syslog server like kiwi  http://www.kiwisyslog.com
export all syslogging to the kiwi server, and have kiwi send email alerts, filtered on those alerts that you want to trigger an email..

I looked all over "kiwisyslog.com" site, and found no information on how to install or configure this logger. Also is there anything special i need to setup in the PIX to allow it to send the log to the localhost?
