Regulus is dead. JKR has stated so unequivocally and more  than once in 
interviews. No, I don't have the link, sorry, but she said  something to 
the effect that "he hasn't been up to much lately, seeing as  he's dead".

Brief Chronicles now:
I believe he probably is dead, and at first I thought the theory that  
Kreacher helped him get the locket wouldn't work because Kreacher belonged to  
Sirius, but isn't Regulus the older of the two brothers? That would make Regulus  
in charge of Kreacher before he died, and that would make Kreacher pass to  
Sirius after Regulus died. I think the fact that Kreacher belonged to Sirius is  
proof that Regulus is indeed dead, and the fact that Kreacher now belongs to  
Harry is proof that Sirius isn't coming back. *sob* But it does, however, 
allow  for Kreacher to have helped Regulus get the locket.  :)
