They have a bunch of basic IP cores available within the free Webpack as well, but they also have IPs that cost.  I've used their DDS, FIFO, and a few others so far.  I'm sure it would not take much to implement the various Verilog code from the openHPSDR (or N2ADR, or...) on a Xilinx FPGA.  I keep meaning to do that, but life gets in the way.

I'm not an expert on either, I just knew that one of the reasons why the OpenHPSDR project chose the Altera chips in the first place was that Xylinx was pretty stingy with their toolset.  Maybe this has changed.
