Qemu supports both m68k and ColdFire nowadays:

PS. For m68k there are also a lot of other emulators that emulate 
specific platforms.

Aranym, 68040 Atari "clone", used a lot by Debian m68k port before Qemu 
got m68k support.

WinAUE, 68000-68040 Amiga emulation.  Unlike Aranym or Qemu, this 
emulates also CPU cache.

Hatari, 68000-68040 Atari emulation (based on WinUAE CPU core).

Previous, 68030 NeXT emulator (based on Hatari).
