I run A/UX 2.0 on an SE/30.  2.0 won't support the color monitor; 2.0.1
will.  2.0.1 is supposed to ship in the next couple of months (sorry, I
don't have an exact time; I haven't been following the shipping
schedule.)  2.0.1 is an upgrade mostly for IIsi support, but one of the
other new features is support for multiple monitors.

The only (other) hardware you need is an 80Mb hard disk minimum.
You'll like installing the system much more if you get the CD-ROM
version than the floppy version.  The SE/30 runs fine.  And, of course,
A/UX (like any Unix system) wants more memory than you currently have,
no matter how much memory you currently have.  :-)
