Reply to myself:
Seems the 2+ GHz e5500 core ("e500mc64") based QorIQ P5010 could appear as a good match for MorphOS.
From the core yes. But there are pretty many other things within the package for real high end networking (several 10 Gb controllers, packet inspector, buffers, security stuff). Not that MorphOS gets hindred by these compounds, but I guess they are rather bad for the wallet. On teh other hand the other QorIQs have also some fancy stuff on board and are not too expensive.
And - unfortunately the 5500 has not Altivec. Still if someone would try to build new hardware for MorphOS now I would still rather recommend MPC 8610 or 8640.
The P5010 could be a good alternative to the ibm 476 (which I also still consider interesting)

Whenever you're sad just remember the world is 4.543 billion years old and you somehow managed to exist at the same time as David Bowie.
