Cool! I love the 68k, I learned assembly on it (on the Amiga because Europe) and it ruled.
It sounds like a nice project, although I personally almost can't consider a 68K-based hobby computer without graphics. :) Of course graphics isn't trivial, so I totally understand the design.
This part:

Actually isn't true anymore, there's at least one FPGA family with built-in flash: Lattice's MachXO2 family (http://www.latticesemi.com/Products/FPGAandCPLD/MachXO2.aspx http://www.latticesemi.com/Products/FPGAandCPLD/MachXO2.aspx).
