There are several ways to get a graduated transparency if you are making your own brushes. Layer masks and gradients, for example.
As I said, Gimp brushes are flexible enough to get exactly what you want. Give an example and then let's see the best way to do it.
I think the OP makes a difference between partial opacity, which is built in the brush: soft parametric brush or partially opaque pixels in bitmap brushes), and anti-aliasing, which is added when painting. And with all types of brushes I tested the Pencil tresholds the alpha:
- soft parametric
- grayscale (black-to-white gradient)
- full color (blue-to-transparency gradient)
