We had a project that required more UARTs. We used a Philips chip SC28L194 with 4 UARTs and interfaced it to a Rabbit 2000 microprocessor. The chip can be interfaced to any microprocessor. There is also a SC28L198 with 8 UARTs. You could use 1 or 2 of these chips to give you more UARTs. The datasheets talked about the chip having a Motorola or Intel interface so you may be able to use it with your Motorola microprocessor. There are also space I/O pins that can be used to add CTS/RTS hardware handshaking if you like.
