Why bother with an FPGA based PPC though when these things are ~£31 individually? http://www.digikey.co.uk/product-detail/en/freescale-semiconductor-nxp/MPC5200CVR400B/MPC5200CVR400B-ND/1168085
That's what powered the Efika and is a 603e based chip, why go to the hassle of designing a PPC based FPGA system?
It made sense for the 68060 as it's incredbily expensive and the end of the road for the 68k series compatibility/availability wise. Those arguments don't hold true for PPC though.
Indeed, lot faster then any fpga now and PPC's cpu's are for sale. Why bother making a FPGA implementation which needs several years of debugging.
