Yes. Niklaus Wirth and Paul Reed have implemented it on Wirth's own RISC
computer design which has been implemented on FPGA, using Verilog on a
Xilinx Spartan-3 development board. They also have it running on a
virtualised PC.

They described their work on this at the Oberon Day 2011 in Zurich in May
last year. The video can be viewed on the website at:

Note that they are using the recent revisions of the simpler Oberon language
(which we are also using in Astrobe for latest Cortex-M3 development work),
not Oberon-2.
