If you’re looking to play with commercial USB3 PHY evaluation hardware – that is, if you’re looking to get a board someone else has designed and built, rather than soldering up your own or experimenting with 5G SerDes – there seem to be two options available: the HiTech Global FMC_USB3 ($795 USD), or the Design Gateway AB07-USBFMC ($1,650 USD).

Thanks to Tim Ansell, I’ve been able to get my hands on the AB07-USBFMC; this quick post summarizes my findings so far working with the board.
