I'd be happy with a synthesizable '040 core. Free 68000 cores already 
exist:

http://opencores.org/project,tg68,overview

Compared to the original MC68000, these designs are "bad-ass" already 
(i.e. they are faster cycle-for-cycle, have a wider bus, etc. Put one on 
an contemporary ASIC and you could probably clock it at half a GHz).
