That isn't a valid English sentence, so it is not surprising that you
didn't understand it.  For amusement, I will translate it:

"If I were you,"   
  -- You can ignore this part.  He isn't you. :)

"I would probably hunt down some source code"
  -- He suggests that you search for DES source code.  That source code
is in "Applied Cryptography".

"although because of the memory limitations,"
  -- because Handhelds have less memory than a Windows PC or Unix box,

"it may not be easy to port directly (from windows source or unix)."
  -- you may find it difficult to translate code that runs on Windows
or Unix to code that runs on a handheld.

Here is a short summary:  Try to find some source code for the DES
algorithm and modify it so it will run on your handheld.
