There is no "M68K" kernel. The vme68k, mac68k, amiga &c ports are all
seperate architectures. The m68k pseudo- "port" is just the body of
code that's shared between the actual, particular m68k ports.

You asked about the kernel, but as a point of fact, _binaries_
compiled on one m68k port will run on another m68k port, with few
exceptions (that being kernel grovelers and daemons for particular
hardware). In fact, many of the binary sets and all binary packages
for different m68k ports are identical. (They're symlinks.)
