Yeah, unless he had some really kick-ass tools, that would require genius-level smarts. And I can't see Kirk doing it with top-of-the-line hacker's tools. That would be cheating too much.
But he probably used *some* sort of hacking/debugging tool -- if he used the 23rd century equivalent of notepad on uncompiled code for a system that size, then he's somewhere way past 'genius'. He'd have to be the sort of person who can 'read' 2400baud line-noise.
