If you are talking about actually writing the kanji with your pen into 
the palmpilot, I don`t think that is possible. Even the romaji
recognition in the palmpilot is based on a special way to write them
which should tell you about the palmpilot`s limitations in this area.
If you really want a PDA that can recognize written kanji, you should
get a sharp zaurus. It also recognizes romaji and even Greek letters.
It has an English-Japanese dictionary and is very useful for
translation and kanji lookup. On the other hand there is no good linux 
interface and you can`t write your own programs, although that could
be changed if someone can convince sharp to give out programming
information.
