It would be too slow for a 30 MHz Z80, but it depends on a lot factors. 
It depends on

is there a clock multiplier?
how many clockcycles in one machine cycle?
how many machinecycles for one read- or write-cycle?

If you have a WAIT line, any SRAM timing can be used.

Per clock cycle. Not machine cycle.

I'm not an FPGA expert so I don't know how the clock frequency 
translates to the timing results of the constructed output pins.
