Isn't an FPGA basically a bunch of NAND or NOR gates whose connections can be arranged as necessary?

No, it's a bunch of registers to hold state and look-up tables that map to your logic. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karnaugh_map)

Registers can be made by using a bunch of flip-flops, which are again made using NAND/NOR.
