Aside from the obvious Motorola manuals, I'd recommend "68000 Assembly 
Language, Techniques for Building Programs" by Donald Krantz and James Stanley
(Addison Wesley, 1986).  It includes a chapter called "The Nitty-Gritty Details"
that covers exactly the kind of stuff you need to write a disassembler.

(It's also a pretty good book for learning 68K assembler, IMHO.)
