Personally I would create a .vrt using gdal_translate, with these "additional command line parameters":
-b 1 -b 2 -b 3 -b 1 -colorinterp_4 alpha -scale_4 0 255 255 255 This assumes 8 bit RGB input, but you can adapt it for something else. It does work even before georeferencing. But depending on your workflow it might be easier just to convert to RGBA with something like imagemagick, or to open in MS Paint and save as PNG, which silently adds an alpha channel.
