Potentially.

D is designed to only work on 32bit+ architectures. The 68k series did 
have 32bit versions of them.

After a quick check it does look like LDC is out as LLVM has not yet got 
support for M68k target. Which is unfortunate because with the -betterC 
flag it could have pretty much out of the box worked. Even if you don't 
have most of D at your disposal e.g. classes and GC (but hey old cpu! 
can't expect that).

I have no idea about GDC, but the -betterC flag is pretty recent so its 
support may not be what you would consider first class there yet.
