I am using Altera DE2-115 Board (CyloneIVE device) and want to connect some other device running in Gbps via its Gigabit Ethernet Transceiver (Marvell 88E1111) interface.

The comment "running in Gbps" is a bit vague. Are you saying you want to capture an data stream that happens to be operating at Gbps data rate? If so, the answer is probably "No you cannot".
The Marvell PHY is designed for Gigabit data streams. The SGMII interface expects data encoded per whatever GbE encoding uses. It cannot be used to capture an arbitrary Gbps data stream.

Can I get some idea about how can I proceed for this project?

Consider buying a Cyclone IV GX Starter kit and use the Gbps signals on its PCIe edge connector.
If you can describe what you are trying to do in more detail, members of this forum can provide ideas.
