Kawa does includes a telnet server. You could start it on the phone with:
java kawa.repl --port PORTNUM
where PORTNUM is the listening port. (If you use 0, an available port is used.)
Then from your PC you can telnet to that port:
telnet IPADDR PORTNUM
where IPADDR is that of your Android device.
I haven't tested this with an Android device. Of course note that telnet
is unencrypted and insecure, so don't use an unencrypted WiFi connection.
Better, but more complex, would be to use a ssh server on the device.
Kawa's eval/repl on Android does have some limitations because you can't
construct new classes on the fly. (On other targets repl/eval code is
first compiled to bytecode before it is executed. That is not an option
on Android at this time.)
