Thank you for the link. I would be happy to try it although I'm not quite sure how to. :(.

Ah, so you are "that new" to FPGAs :)
So here's what you have to decide ...
1. Am I learning about FPGAs?
2. Do I have to get the SFP+ interface working?
I2C is pretty easy to implement using an FTDI USB-to-MPSSE cable ($26) and FTDIs libMPSSE-I2C code ...
http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/c232hm-ddhsl-0/768-1106-nd/2714139 Before being able to understand how to use the AlteraWiki code, you need to understand how FPGAs work, what Qsys is, what the Wishbone bus is, what the Avalon-MM bus is, what Modelsim is, what Tcl is, etc.
Do you have time for that now?
Perhaps re-think your "first FPGA experience". Implement the SFP+ interface using I2C, and independent of that, start to learn about FPGAs.
For example, have you created designs for your BeMicro-CV or BeMicro-SDK boards? Eg., here's some BeMicro-CV examples ...
