I have worked with least two different options you might be able to use.
First of all, I haven't tried this, but I believe that you can compile

in cooperation with Xilinx. I have used Xilinx FPGA's, and I can

FYI, the Xilinx XC9536 CPLDs (not -XL, not -XV...just
Altera's MAX7000S series CPLDs are 5V parts. They are not
cutting-edge technology, but it may be worth it to you if the rest of
your circuit is 5V.

Read the Spartan docs. For example, it is 3.3v but can drive a high
enough Voh to meet 5v TTL input specs (~2.4v), and the inputs are also
5v tolerant. They might meet your requirements.
