Gforth is pretty portable.  Unfortunately I never came across a 68k
machine for testing, but it should work, either with the m68k host (so
apparently someone tested after all), or the generic host (the latter
should work everywhere; if all else fails, configure with
no_dynamic_default=1).

Cross-compiling is a hurdle.  We have done some preparations for it,
and you can read about them in INSTALL and INSTALL.md.  But it's still
not mainstream, and you may encounter some problems.  But I guess you
are used to that:-).
