There is a cool online rogue (java):

He's even released the source - though he doesn't say under what kind of licence:

Considering it's open source in the first place ... would it be a difficult job? Would anyone here want to take it on?
Without even looking at the source, I'd just have to say that Kindle Java is very restricted, it is based off of Java 1.4 w/ CDC or CLDC (forgot). Modern Java programs uses Java 1.6 w/ full JVM support. Plus, if the program is GUI, you need to port to the phoneme AWK from whatever graphics framework the program uses originally. So most likely, it's possible, but not easy.
