The m68k port is still going strong - actually it has been so for years. We have a very stable kernel and I'm currently working with Linus on getting our patches integrated into the native kernel.

Richard Hirst has ported Linux/m68k to the MVME 162, 166 and 167 (a port to the 142 is in the works), see http://www.sleepie.demon.co.uk/ for details. I dont know anything about the MVME176/177 boards but I think it should be rather easy to support these new boards based on Richard's existing work.
You can also subscribe to the Linux/m68k mailinglist by mailing majordomo@phil.uni-sb.de with the line "subscribe linux-m68k" and post to linux-m68k@phil.uni-sb.de.
Besides, work is in progress for the Sun3, Apollo Domain and Apple Macintosh. For general Linux/m68k info check out http://www.rose-hulman.edu/~lawrenc/linux/index.html,
