when he said 68k, he meant 68k assembly.  and yes, there is at least one C
compiler for the 68k because TI themselves used it to write the rom.

besides, C written specifically for the 68k can be as basic (assembly) or
advanced (high level) as you want.  C was written that way.  unfortunately,
this means that C and C++ programs often don't port very well.  this is
because of the power they have over the platform.
