Could FPGA be used for 486 expansion card?

Here's a crazy question: in theory, could one make a new modern A1200 accelerator card that also houses intel 486 compatibility?

The thought came into my mind when I saw there's 286 expansion cards for e.g. the A2000, That Jan Beta showed on his channel.

Theoretically ... sure.

But it would be probably easier to do so on a RasPi based accelerator like the PiStorm or on a coprocessor like the A314 or the ZZ9000.

Here is a PC emulator for the PI: http://rpix86.patrickaalto.com
(486@20MHz)
And here a baremetal approach (what we would need):
