So, how does one fight a contempt of court? Is it even possible?

(PS: Great job EFF!)

I'm guessing it involves appealing (or similar) the court order that the contempt finding depends on.

Yes. Lavabit's filing [0] is to the Fourth District Court of Appeals. Page 1 of their brief (after all of the disclosures and tables of content) explains the jurisdictional stuff pretty well.
