Is it possible to drive a VHDL input port of a lower hierarchy with a generic value from the top hierarchy ?
 

Generics and ports are two totally different things. A port is a physical connection, a generic is a parameter. Why can't you just drive your lower-level port from the upper level?
 

Yes, you'll have to pass it through via generics or ports though.
Remember the generic is just a constant....
