Anki's engine for storing and manipulating flashcards is written in python, backed by a sqlite database. I'm thinking about following steps:
1. Cross compile pysqlite2 [sqlite api - native python module]
2. run Jython on kindle's jvm
3. Create a Kindlet embedding Jython, with a simple GUI for reviewing flashcards.
Comments, tips, etc appreciated,

And after downloading, follow the directions in the enclosed README file just like that page section directs.
It isn't a compiled (to native binary) program, just a python program.
So you should not have the problems associated with cross-compiling.
If you find problems with meeting the required dependances on your selected Kindle model, just update this thread with your problems/progress.
The base dependances are listed as:
Quote:
Prerequisites for Linux/FreeBSD/etc:
- a recent Python (2.4 should be fine)
- python-qt/pyqt 4.4+
- sqlalchemy 0.4.3+
- simplejson 1.7.3+
- pysqlite2 1.3+ or python2.5

Some of which you may have to cross-compile for the Kindle or locate armel binaries that you can use on the Kindle.
This recent thread might help getting the qt libraries working on your Kindle:
