How you will decide the whether given ASIC can be implemented in FPGA. ASIC people are using some terminology called equivalent gate(WHAT is THIS?)
and FPGA people are using system gate(WHAT IS THIS?).

correction, FPGA people were using system gates.
Nowadays, they use LUT count or LE count and registers - which is much more meaningful.
To answer your question, there is only one way to find out, compile the design for the targetted architecture (xilinx, @ltera, lattice, actel, atmel) and make the comparison.
