Have you checked out Altera's PCIe development board?

http://www.altera.com/products/devkits/altera/kit-pciexpress_s2gx.html

It's got two hsmc ports connected to SIIGX transceivers, though only one of them has four transceiver lanes. The other hsmc port has two transceivers connected to it, which I don't think is enough to run XAUI (you need four lanes for it, I think?)

I'm not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for, but it's the only development board Altera produces (that I'm aware of) that has more than one hsmc connected to a stratix II GX.
