Gateway is more then likely the owner of that IP, although any patents are probably expiring.  Last I heard, the masks were destroyed some years ago and I doubt you could find any fab that could handle that elderly of a design.  Wonder if you could get away with putting everything on a single chip (SoC), including the 68K.  However you did it, your looking at alot of expense that probably could not be recouped.
