No. The later 68K (>68020) could address on odd adresses. And AFAIK all x86 can because of their 8080 stemming. Don't confuse this with 16Bit aligned addressing - _that_ is the minimum for years, and of course doing something like move.l #1, d0 // move 4 byte ad immediate address 1 into data register 0 is a nightmare on runtime - but working, nontehless.
