Surely doing just the 65816 should be easy.

I don't think it'd be a lot easier, there's emulaters for PCs too.
Personally I like the idea of a G3 based card because so many G3 0wners
upgraded their computers that you can get the chips for next to nothing
or for free if youhappen to know a lot of Mac owners. There's likely an
equivalent out of date PC processor.
Could these chips run with the power restrictions of an Apple II?
No. And in fact, the Pentium M may be a problem as well. Some
Pentium M configurations are quite low power, but seem to
require active cooling anyway.
A Transmeta Efficieon can supposedly operate with only passive
cooling, which indicates even lower power requirements.
I can't see any way a PowerPC of any kind fits the requirements.
