Yes, there are analog circuits on the PCB board as well, and we are really concerned about noise in this application because of the analog circuits associated with the application.

Ok. Then analyze the FPGA power requirements and see if they can be met by linear supplies. If the FPGA needs to use a switcher, then you will need to pay attention to layout.
If your analog section can use differential signalling, then that will improve the common-mode rejection of any switching signals.
Micrel have a range of switcher noise suppression linear regulators; basically active filters acting as low-dropout regulators. You might be able to use those to cut down the noise from the digital section of the board.
