I haven't booted an m68k machine in a while, so I am not too qualified to
comment on the current setup. I am impressed by the effort you put in, it
seems you are very close to a working system.

Quite possible, the format is quite picky. Did you try to leave out the
slash after debian-ports? See:
https://wiki.debian.org/M68k/Installing
The page may be outdated, but it does not show a slash after debian-ports
and before unstable/unreleased:
pick your favourite Debian unofficial ports mirror (weâ??ll be using ã??http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian-portsã;??)
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian-ports unstable main
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian-ports unreleased main
