The FPGA could theoretically implement the host controller features, but you would still need a USB phy (physical layer interface) to host the USB electrically. Also, the host controller is terribly complex and not really a reasonable engineering approach. You would be far better off using a device that already has a USB host controller (such as the cRIO 9022 mentioned earler, a laptop, a TI Beagle Board, or even a Luminary (now TI) Stellaris part with USB OTG support).
