GDB comes with target simulators for a some CPUs -- so there
may already be an emulation of the m68k CPU as such (Sun3s sport
an m68030 or something right?) available.

That said, emulating the CPU won't take him all that far -- assuming
the binary isn't allowed to poke at hardware, there is still the
issue of catching and emulating all syscalls. ISTR the gdb simulators
are prepared with hooks for doing this, but it's been some time since
I digged in gdb internals. Still sounds like a lot of work to me...
