Native mode programs such as the clock do not need to hack very deeply into the kindle. Just a background task that updates the eink framebuffer at periodic intervals. It helps to know that background tasks can be scheduled to wake up periodically even when the kindle is "asleep". Because updating the eink display consumes a significant amount of battery energy, they should not do it too often.
