A common way is for there to be a bitstream stored in flash which
presents an interface to download the data. I think some FPGAs with
hard bus IP even has that built in.
Another variant -- common on USB -- is to use a simple USB interface
chip like an FTDI which can be used (sometimes in conjunction with a
CPLD) to (in effect) bitbang in a bitstream into the FPGA. After
configuration, the programming pins are used for the USB interface.
