Honored Contributorjohn is suggesting that you disconnect the LCD daughter board from the C3 board and design a new daugher board with the GPIOs you need.
The HSMC pin out is described by an Altera spec and the Cyclone III starter kit's documentation. http://www.altera.com/literature/ds/hsmc_spec.pdf There a couple of boards that may suit you, though. http://www.bitec-dsp.com/hsmc_proto.html http://www.nialstewartdevelopments.co.uk/products.htm
