Well, Xyce supports verilog-a in pretty much the same way that
ng-spice supports verilog-a: one uses ADMS to generate C++ code that
is then compiled in to Xyce.  

Adding IBIS support would be an interesting project.  But since our
internal users are the ones that determine our funding and development
priorities, it has never been brought up.

Of course, one of the goals of open sourcing Xyce was to get it out into a 
community of folks who might be interested in adding to it.
