Is same-sex marriage between an alien and a resident allowed in the state of Massachusetts?

Yes. There is no citizenship requirement for obtaining a marriage license in Massachusetts, regardless of the gender(s) of the applicants. Lack of a legal immigration status is not a bar to marriage, nor does it invalidate an otherwise legally performed marriage. Please note that, for the time being, same-sex marriage is not recognized for purposes of immigration, except that it can be considered in deportation cases. A same-sex spouse cannot sponsor a foreigner for a green card.

Each situation is unique and you should consult an attorney.

How can you get a domestic partner legalized?

I assume that by "legalized" you are referring to legal immigration status. The United States does not recognize domestic partnerships, whether they be between two men, two women or a man and a woman, for purposes of immigration. The US also does not recognize same-sex marriages for purpose of immigration. It is not possible to obtain a visa, green card or naturalization by virtue of domestic partnership with an American citizen.
