I have recently had the generic fanuc post modified in order to position correctly above a part with TCP turned on. This is on a Head/head machine, not a lathe. The initial positioning won't be correct for the global position if you use g68.2, as the xyz values are those of the tilted plane. Running as pure 5-aksix with all position being relative to the global coordinate system was the solution proposed and made by the Autodesk developers. Technically one can transform the coordinates from the feature/tilted coordinate system back to the global coordinate system through some elaborate matrix transformation, but it's not simple. So unless you really need the g68.2 to allow editing on the controller, I wouldn't recommend it.
Changing the order for positioning and separating into two blocks in the post is quit easy once you know where to look.
