It should be possible to port qemu to *STEP and add the needed syscall
translations, I suppose.

This would help porting other OSes too...
I'd really like to add NeXT to the possible targets of my m68k Haiku
port...
Though I admit it's only just for fun :)

AFAIK the m68k support in QEMU is not finished, and is mostly coldfire
only.

Another option is to start from an existing 68k emulator.
There is UAE, ARAnyM...

ARAnyM is based on UAE cpu code, but has 040 mmu support (it has now
been backported to UAE as a patch).

Tried PearPC ?
