Sure it can ;-)

Actually I did a bit of work to add nommu support to m68k to make it
boot on old MMU-less Amigas, but it dates back to the 2.6.8.1 era...

The bigger issue is in those parts that are done differently by m68k and
m68knommu (esp. head.S).

Who's gonna take the work? :-)

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
