If my memory doesn't fail me, on the ticalc site you'll find two Linux 
programs to up/download stuff, one using the Graph Link and the other 
using the parallel port and some very primitive HW. 
In true Open Source fashion they come as source and not as binary - we 
don't keep Powerful Secrets but made them public knowledge *and* fix 
the bugs that they can exploit to do nasty things ...

Since the Graph Link one uses simple serial stuff, it should be
runable under any unix.

Of course, for the 68k you should use the GNU toolchain (available for 
any common platform - that is, DOS, Windows, any form of unix, OS/2,
Amiga, whatever). The GNU toolset, if you are not avare of it,
contains an assembler, a C/C++/ObjectiveC compiler with some very
notable extension for these languages, linker, a very powerful source 
level debugger and a bunch of tools like objdump etc.
The list of targets include any 32-bit CPU that is sold in any
reasonable quantity, that is M68K, x86, MIPS, SPARC, ARM, SH, PPC: the 
full list is too long. As everything from GNU it comes as full source
but you will find precompiled binaries for some of the most frequent
target_system - target_CPU - host_system tuples on the net (for Windows
and DOS host, with stand-alone m68k target www.cygnus.com is the
place to go).

For the Z80 I know there are some assemblers, but I wouldn't
know by heart where. Your best bet would be to take a look at 
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu somewhere in /pub/linux/tools/assemblers or
something along these lines. As it comes in source and wouldn't use
any fancy system functions, you could make it compile under any unix.
