Sample data from the Viking landers back in the 1970's shows that the regolith is chemically reactive. However, just being reactive doesn't mean it's reactive enough to use as a compact fuel source.
Hmm... Perhaps the martian dust could be used in a fuel cell.
Do you have a reference for this? I'd like to read it.
