Looks like you haven't tried that yourself, Socrates!

Marvell is not interested in Qty 1. (Altera isn't either ... no blame) If you can not get it from Arrow or Avnet you are stuck.

Digikey sells the Vitesse VSC8601 PHY (which only has a RGMII i/f, but at a good price) but unfortunately Altera doesn't seem to be willing to add support for this. Or maybe Altera could ask Digikey to stock this Marvell part? (as Digikey is stocking the Altera FPGAs on behalf of Altera already)
