The Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGAs show up in Xilinx's website, but not in any of the distributors.
The development boards are promised "June 2006", and you can leave an email address to be notified when they are truly available.
If you can't buy it, then it is not available. Will locating a press release stating "it's now available" rectify the situation that you are unable to find it at any vendor?
Since it is not catalogued at distribution, it is therefore not "generally available", i.e. it is not in the hands of ordinary users.
Digi-Key et al typically show new parts in their catalog a few weeks before they are actually in stock.

The 'available now' has different meaning for Xilinx Marketing, namly they claim availability as soon as first piece of silicon is scheduled to leave Xilinx premises to any entity outside.
However parts are obtainable sure before they appear as stock by digikey or others.
