Frankly speaking, the thought to port Gargoyle to Kindle crossed my mind several times while working on the OI port. However, there was no (stable) SDK at the time (and I think there still isn't). Besides, it's Java whereas Gargoyle is plain old C. I could get away with proper OI port and keep the Gargoyle code base virtually intact due to its clear design. But if you migrate the code to Java, you can forget about getting improvements and bug fixes from the main Gargoyle supporters.
If you have ideas how to graft a C library into a Kindle application, e.g. with some JNI magic, then porting to Kindle may be possible. I would even be willing to help you out and get my hands dirty with that :-)
