The sample bitcoin project for the DE2-115 board mentioned before returns an average of 50MH/s, entirely consistent with the 'hash result per clock' identified by Nial.

There is much debate as to the 'power' of FPGA's for mining. The returns they offer simply don't compare (as of today) with those of their processor based cousins.
