As Ben mentioned already, check your hardware:
Check the hw configured PHY addresses. Then you should see at least
proper IDs when you do the mii info. PullUps on the MDC/MDIO lines?
You should be able to see some traffic there with an oscilloscope.

Then, double-check the PHY configuration and it's host interface
setting...(CONFIGx<->LEDy connections)
The MV88E1111 should work with the generic PHY initialization
since the Marvell PHYs have a quite compatible standard register set.

If you want, you can send me this part of the schematic for review.
I have the MV88E1111 on the MPC85xx working fine using GMII.
