Sure, a clone of the 68k could be written in a FPGA. Though I don't know how many gates/macro cells it would need, I really have no idea. I think it would need the best FPGA out though. The advantage this has you can add extra opcodes if you like, would make it as compatible as you want. You could shorten time taken to execute instructions by designing the VHDL code well. But, trying to do this in VHDL is extremely difficult. I know a 68000 in VHDL exists but it isn't freeware and I think it's only about 90% complete.
I guess about 500MHz is max on the sort of FPGA we're talking about. Might be quite expensive, certainly more than the Coldfire (about $25/euros).
I think a 500Mhz optimised 68k in FPGA would be pretty powerful.
