KUAL was not really made to be extensible on the Java side, but, on FW 5.x (and only there), it technically has access to the standard Java UI kit, IIRC. You'd have to come up with the Java frontend *and* how to make that interact with the awk backend, though. That'd be extremely non-trivial.

The only somewhat usable toolkit available on stock devices is gtk2, c.f., kterm & co.

Otherwise, you can do it all by hand with a custom input loop and custom drawing primitives and FBInk ;D.

That still won't solve the lack of integration/interaction with KUAL, though.

TL;DR: No. The best you can do is building "dynamic" menus (c.f., the K5 Fonts hack and its font override extension).
