So many variants of tunneling and protocol encapsulation can result in
unaligned packet headers, and as a result platforms really must
provide proper unaligned memory access handling in kernel mode in
order to use the networking fully.

As Philippe mentioned, old 68k's simply cannot do this.

An 68000 cannot, but 68010+ can. Are there really that many 68000 users
left?

Probably not of the 68000 as such, but the "new" generation of
68000 parts, Motorola/Freescales ColdFire family. There is quite
a few of them, used in all sorts of embedded applications.
And they are still churning out new varients of it. The majority
of them are MMUless - but not all.
