Yeah you could probably use a Dremel very carefully to sand down some of the major gashes then follow up with a really fine grain or sand paper to smooth it out is what I would think. I would also check to see if it bent your rim at all.

DAMN that looks gross....

first pair of rims i ever owned was a pair of konigs on my 03 eclipse, and dented them on a pot hole the first day, and curb rashed it one week later to the day.

that sucks. the dremel idea sounds like a good option. I have bad curb rash on my passenger rear from two years of daily parallel parking downtown DC. This car sucks when parallel parking.
