Depends what you mean by 'easy'..

At the very least you'll need to add the CIAs and make a register compatible interrupt controller too to retain software compatibility.

Without hacking the kickstart, pretty much all of them.
It wont boot without chip ram, needs the cias for timers, gayle/gary for controlling motherboard accesses, buster for Zorro control, paula for interrupts etc..

@Fester
 The Clone-A demo was an A500 motherboard with separate FPGAs plugged into each chip socket. I guess they're busy now integrating it into a single chip and a new board.
 Also, Jens has said several times that he's busy with work that doesn't involve the Amiga.
