if you are interested in this kind of extremely compact FPGA CPUs, you
might like this one, too:

http://opensource.zylin.com/zpu.htm

Pretty professional, even a GCC toolchain is available, and
BSD-licensed.  This also uses a zero-operand architecture (i.e. operands
on hardware-stack), so one might call it a "forth" cpu.

Then there is also Bernd Paysan's b16 CPU, but that one is very
Forth-centric (not ANS Forth, but more "machine forth"/"color forth"):
