There is FUZIX by Alan Cox:

which is a blend of V7+BSD userland plus a mix of different UZI
implementations from the '80s and a lot of new code. It runs on a
variety of "small" CPUs, including pdp-11, Z80/Z180/Z280, 8080, 8085,
8086, 6502, 6803, 6809, 68k, and a few dozens platforms.
There is some initial support for Apple IIe there.
I have used it myself on several retrobrew Z80/Z180 systems, but not on
an Apple IIe, so I can't tell it will work for sure. It's worth trying
it out though.

So, I'm about to get my very own Apple IIe
and while it's an incredibly
versatile machine for assembly language and hardware hackery, I'm not
aware of any Unices that run on the machine, natively. Does anybody know
of any from back in the day?
I'm not aware of any, but I would start with something like Mini-Unix (a
really cut-down Unix).
You'd have to do the assembler stuff yourself, of course.
