I think there is no free high level synthesizer tool available because if we (the FPGA community) want to build FPGA synthesis tools we need to know the specification of the bitfiles that are used to "configure" the FPGA's with the application you develop in for instance SystemC. This specifications are not available from the FPGA manufacturers...
but if the design is transferred to register level and modeled in, for instance, xilinx system generator...then the configuring of the FPGA is very close! in system generator, you can generate the HDL netlist, then take the project to ISE and download it on the FPGA (with all the IOs specified in system generator)...
