You're not going to make anything close to a 100MHz MC68060 with an FPGA for a LONG time.
I hate to be pessimistic, but bigger FPGAs will probably be all in BGA package, and soldering these beauties is not something easy to do in our backyard
Besides this, they also recquire a multi layer PCB (8 to 10 layers, maybe more) which are expensive and hard to do
In the good hand, I´ve heard some good news from some friends about Freescale.(hehehe) Let´s wait for the future :-D
