The FPGA should have some ESD protection built-in.
The lowest capacitance I've seen in a protection part is Cal Micro's
CM1213.

Subject: [SI-LIST] Recommendation for high-speed digital input
protection?
si-list Digest V3 #183
We have a fast digital connection (1.8Gbps) which is going =20
to the front panel of a unit. The connection is direct to an FPGA.
Such "outside world" Connectors are usually protected against =20
ESD using transorbs or zener diodes on the input lines. At =20
these gigabit speeds, zeners become capacitors and will distort the
signal.
Can anyone recommend a suitable input protection scheme, or =20
any particular manufacturers products?
Many thanks,
