I don't think that's the case, it's always present in an m68k kernel. You have a 68060, and I believe the module loader in X (XFree86 or Xorg) still doesn't do cache flushing, which will cause the '060 with its 8k instruction cache to fail. With other CPUs (especially a '030) things usually work fine even without the cache flushes because its cache gets flushed all the time anyway, and the cache is tiny anyway. On my HP300 (with a '040) it manages to start X about once every ten times. So no, at the moment it won't work. It's still on my TODO-list, but close to the bottom since I don't use X on an m68k box much myself. Plus it's a pain to compile X.
