Yeah, I don't know too much about superchargers, cuz I have done all my research about turbos... but I can tell ya this.
The most probable reason there is no kit for a s/c 240sx is cost.  Nobody will make  a kit that will cost $6k when they sell turbos for $3k.  But that doesn't mean it hasn't been done, and doesn't mean you cant do it.
I'd imagine, if you know what you're doing, you could hook up either a roots s/c or a centrifugal s/c.  There might be a hood clearance issue with a roots style.
You'd have to make a mounting bracket, and some tubing, and get a resized belt and separate pulley for it.  And know what you're doing!  Then you'd need basic Forced Induction upgrades.  Fuel management, Intercooler for high boost, and some gauges.  Followed by larger exhaust and such.  If you decide to go for the long haul, and do it, let us know!  People are dying for superchargers on their car, and once someone does it, more are sure to follow.
Good luck man!
