Some seem to suggest MorphOS, but as been pointed out by others, it seems to only offer a dead end that's very similar to the Amiga.
I don't see your point.
You have a good A 4000 CSPPC, so you have the lucky opportunity to try a modern Amiga-Like OS like MorphOS.
It is not suggesting you to try or not a dead end.
It is mounting on your computer a modern AmigaOS-like Operating System.
With MorphOS you will start exploring the brave new world of PPC-only and Amiga-Like OSes such as like AmigaOS and MorphOS.
Just try it, and if you like it, you at least re-juvenate your A4000, because then PPC will work at its best performance working with MorphOS.

Then, regarding new hardware for existing AmigaOS and MorphOS.
AmigaOS could continue survive on new Samantha from Italy, the new Panda Board, which are the major candidates...
And perhaps there is AROS that runs on PPC, X86, and it has being ported to support 64bit X86...
...and someone rumors of a misteriooooous italian project Moana, a full size board with high clocked CPU, at very cheap price, due to new incoming family of PPC processors.
About MorphOS it works on Efika boards, except the fact, it has been tested for internal use of Genesi and MorphOS team and actually it will be not sold with Efika.
We however are waiting for the heir of Pegasos II, the Pegasos III based on dual core PPC G4 model 8641D, clocked at 1,7 GHz.
Such a processor clocked at 1,7 GHz should let many Intel Core Duo, clocked at same speed to bit the dust.
By the way, it has recently noted that 8641D run flawlessly asymmetrical processing with one core at a time, so for the first times, it will be no necessary to transform either AmigaOS nor MorphOS to achieve SMP Operating Systems features.
