Yes, I'm certain it'd be possible. All the digital components are
very standard, apart from the later WPC system, which includes an
undocumented ASIC. I think producing a working CPU would be a good first
step though. Then, if I'm keen, I could try integrating all the I/O etc
and see what happens.

When you say 'use a small FPGA

I have seen the 6809 color computer emulated
as well as the SWTP 6800
on a FPGA. The only thing lacking is GOOD
I/O
for the devices as
most FPGA's have just a SD card interface for
I/O.
