Unfortunately I'm using alredy existing VME-based board and can solve this problem only by means of FPGA. That's so sad that there is no information on this problem in any altera's datasheet.

If the VME board has no overheating protection, its
not a problem of the FPGA, its a problem of the VME board design.
Take a look at the VME board schematic. Do they have a temperature sensor on the board? Does the temperature sensor have alert set-points and does the alert interrupt signal go somewhere useful, eg., to a processor or to the FPGA? If yes, then deal with an over-temperature alarm by disabling the logic that generates all the heat.
