If you are referring to "partial reconfiguration" like Xilinx supports in the Virtex series where you can actually reconfigure part of the FPGA fabric then ... No. Altera currently does not support this feature. 

 

The only things you can reconfigure dynamically in Stratix II GX are: 

1 - PLLs 

2 - Transceivers

I must say you are the first person I've actually met who actually has a use for the feature. Most of our designs are Xilinx and we haven't found a good use for it yet. I'm told though that it's primarily used in Military applications.
