See http://www.NatAmi.net for more information about the N68050 being developed as a softcore and the N68070 to follow as a superscalar version of the '050.  They've recently bumped up to the next size higher of FPGA chips allowing higher performance when the NatAmi comes out.  (And to add to the '050 and '070 they're also working on a SuperAGA multimedia chipset as well!)
Shame it will suck compared to a real Rev6 060 (at least for a good 5-10 years until value FPGA's become able to map it at usable speeds).
