You might be correct to say that it's nothing like software emulation, but emulation is emulation. It's not simulation.
FPGA implemented CPU cores are not very fast even on larger and more expensive FPGAs. The Natami project, for example, uses a real m68060 because the softcores are not as fast as a real m68060.
The m68060, you must remember, is no slouch. I'm often reminded because I see my m68060 systems (60 and 66 MHz) outrunning 133 MHz SH3, 100 MHz MIPS, 100 MHz SPARC, and 72 MHz VAX systems is most things as well as 200 and 233 MHz StrongARM systems in certain things.
If you really want m68k MacOS on an m68060, your best bet is an Amiga with an '060 accelerator or something like the Natami running AmigaOS with ShapeShifter to run MacOS. One of the good things about running under AmigaOS is that you get certain improvements such as a real multitasking OS which can do things when MacOS would typically busy-wait (such as when disk activity is going on).
