I just got a reply from Amazon Customer service. It was pretty much standard fare and did not offer any real information. It sounded real helpful and everything, but I'm guessing the Kindle for us non-US residents is a far way off at best.
Here is the email:

Hello from Amazon.com.
Thank you for writing to us about purchasing content from the Amazon
Kindle Store in Germany.
At this time, we are unable to offer the Amazon Kindle and
associated digital content from the Kindle Store to our
international customers due to import/export laws and other
restrictions.
When you place your order for an Amazon Kindle, both the billing
address for the payment method and the shipping address for the
delivery must be recognized by our systems as valid United States
addresses.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We value our
international customers and hope to make content available in your
location in the future. Please continue to check our website for
additional information on supported locations.
Thank you for your interest in Amazon Kindle.
Please let us know if this e-mail resolved your question:
