Unfortunately there is not much.

I had to do something similar as a part of my master thesis.
I extracted the relevant part and put it online under
http://attila.kinali.ch/ogp/k-selector.ps.gz

It is not an adder, but a similar structure (a k-selector
that can be described as a saturating adder). There are
some synthesis results at the end of the section too.

You might want to have a look at Reto Zimmermann's PhD
thesis "Binary Adder Architectures for Cell-based VLSI
and their Synthesis" (ETH Zürich, 1997) on which most
of that section from my thesis is based.
