There probably never will: the 68hc11 series are just souped-up 6800-based
microcontrollers with extended instruction set. Very easy to find in
France because they're used in a popular, uh, video converter. I've seen
a port of gcc for these but have never actually tried it. There are
also several assemblers and emulators running under Unix, some of them
are even in the -ports collection I seem to recall.

On the other hand, there are at least two 68K emulators that I know
of: one of them in MAME, the other in the Amiga emulator I forgot the
name of. Maybe they're based on the same code. They're written in
portable C and though AFAIK they don't emulate the 68030/68040 they're
probably a good starting point for this.
