Motorola 68060 FPGA replacement module (idea)

And x86 need lot's of peripherals to run.

What about AMD's Geode line of x86 SoC's?

The Geode LX in particular would be perfect imo!

There are more powerful processor (including processors with more then one core which could aid in hardware emulation), but the XP-M based versions of the Geode aren't bad and might be powerful enough.

If it's just a companion to an FPGA and providing FPU support it should be grunty enuf - could always use the Athlon based version NX Series if they fit into the required power envelope?
