If 68328serial.c is removed is there any point keeping the
architecture support for 68328 platforms?

The 68328serial.c provides pretty much the only type of console
that can be used on these devices. They are largely useless
without this

Probably we should - unless someone wants to stand up and say "actually
I'm using this with current kernels, need it, and I'll maintain it"

Somehow I doubt anyone is.

Yep, I suspect you are right.
I can't even remember the last time a patch or improvement
for 68328 came past me. Same goes for 68360 cpu/platform
as well.
