I believe the last statement means what it says - that for purposes of
selecting a valid alternate, one must select an approach that can be
completed without reliance on GPS.

Is a radar approach (presumably requiring no avionics but a Com radio)
authorised for use as an alternate?

Sure. Orlando, Pensacola, Jacksonville all publish alternate minima
for their radar approaches.

Presumably, if no alternate minimums are specified and the airport has
a radar approach, then standard minimums apply.
