z80 is a whole different processor than 68k used in 89. emulating a different processor requires a lot of power and 68k is only so so faster than z80.
even if some good programmer makes a z80 emulator, it will be too slow to be usable.
i would think it is technically possible but the whole project isn't worth the time since it won't be usable due to low speed. there have been some emulators but they emulated very old processors which had speed about 1/10 of 68k's and they didn't have as large instruction set as z80. also, authors commented that the speed wasn't too awesome even with the old cpu they emulated. so far, i haven't heard of anyone trying to emulate z80 on 68k, but it'd sure like to see that!
