Ok, I have this board. Its USB-Blaster JTAG interface is non-standard, and sometimes troublesome.

I found this pdf,

Excellent. In VHDL, you can put component definitions in packages and then "use" the package, or you can define a component locally.

I haven't tried ALTPLL_RECONFIG core as the ALTPLL has an option to add extra configuration pins to the same core and that's where I got stuck. But I'll take a look at the link you posted. I'm sure I'll find the necessary information.
I only used Modelsim once but I'll practice with it too. Thanks for all the help so far. I'll keep you posted.
