I don't see why GoldED needs to be ported. I'm using UAE and it runs faster under the emulator than many native Windows editors, courtesy of AmigaOS. I'd be very surprised if a Pegasos would have trouble running it quickly, considering that a PPC appears to be better suited to emulate an m68k than a x86 (same byte order).

The problem with porting GoldED is sheer size: the editor itself is 2.94 MB source code. On top of that, add 20-30 libraries: boopsi gadget toolkit, spell checking, thesaurus, BASIC interpreter, all syntax parsers, all plug-ins. Total size of the GoldED C source is 6.79 MB, mostly for SAS/C. That's more than a Bible or two ;) Porting libraries to a different compiler/cpu/os is painful and takes time.
