The answer is that for some reason Altera has set an attribute in _hw.tcl so that the component is hidden. You have to edit the _hw.tcl file and change
set_module_property INTERNAL true
to
set_module_property INTERNAL false
and then start the NIOS II IDE shell (Cygwin), change directory to Altera's .ipx file location and re-run ip-make-ipx to rebuild the IP Catalog.
Yes, this is a complete PITA ... but at this point you will see the PHY listed in the IP Catalog.
The main reason that the PHYs are not listed is probably that they are still buggy, so as they say "Your mileage may vary" :)

I'm having a really similar problem with an slave interface exported altera_avalon_mm_bridge component not showing up in the system.h file for our software guys.
When I check out the altera_avalon_mm_bridge_hw.tcl file I can only find
set_module_property HIDE_FROM_SOPC true
Will this do the same thing (currently trying it anyway) or am I looking for something else?
