Yes, the necessary hardware is still being produced. It's PowerPC b
good example is the X1000:
http://www.a-eon.com/x1000.html
I relaly wanted one of these, but even though i made great salary the
year it was released (Ahem, about 2 years later than it was promised to
be...) I still couldn't justify the >$2,000 USD cost for sub-par
hardware.
Personally I'm banking on Natami:

Unlike the X1000, it will actually be bit-for-cpu-instruction-byte
compatible with the amiga. The whole PPC Accellerator card evolution of
OS4 doesn't seem to be getting very far. It certainly doesn't have
enough market traction. I would expect in 5 years or so that X1000 is
still the last and only amiga os4-compatible machine, still expensive, procured from ebay, just like the genesis and other PPC-like systems
before it, and still 5-10 years behind in technology -- that is, you
won't have Ruby, Python, Flash, Java, etc., support out of the box like
you do with even a PPC-based macintosh, or the direction places like
MorphOS are going.
