I have never tried it, but if you convert your .elf files to .hex files first, I expect you should be able to add them in the Convert Programming Files dialog. There is a utility in the Nios console named "elf2hex" which may work for this.

An additional word of warning: the default EPCS boot loader will not be able to boot a software image other than the first hw+sw image at address 0.
