Yeah. I have seen it.
A couple of questions/remarks:
-is this legal ? I remember contacting MC regarding making MC68000 in FPGA
some years ago and their answer was a firm NO-they would not allow me to
use 68000 ISA.
- there is a related project somewhere, called IIRC V68000, which has the same instruction set as 68000 but it isn't binary compatible.
-even if guy gets his off the ground and even if he uses the newest
Spartan-3 FPGA, he will never reach the speeds even comparable with Coldfire
5307, let alone 5407 or the newest, yet-to-be-out 5471 or 5472.

Legality is a big issue. I came across this while I was reading about a ZX81-on-a-chip clone (T80 core). I thought that it would be a good alternative when Motorola gives up the 68K family. As for the new Coldfires... have you seen : a. Their prices?, b. That Motorola won't make them really available in anything less than batches of 1000?
