I'm pretty sure there will be a port as soon as things opens up, if not I'll get it done myself once the KDK access becomes available.

Frotz would be hard work to implement, but since the KDK supports the Java J2ME profile it shouldn't take more than a weekend to get zplet, zag or zaxmidlet up'n running with some z-code.
