AFAIK, SUN Microsystems has a certain web page where some projects
developed in Verilog are available. One of this is PicoJava
Processor. Unfortunately I don't have the exact address anymore, but if
you search the entire microelectronics section of the Sun website, in the
community-license subsection probably you can find the PicoJava Verilog
model.

IMHO, it's easier for me to send the 11 megabyte package by e-mail for
anyone who is interested than to discover the exact web address. But it's
not a ready-made processor description, because it's not a synthesizable
model!

If anyone is interested in converting this model into a synthesizable one,
please count on me, but I would prefer to use VHDL (I can understand
Verilog, but I am not used to it).
