Passover recipes tend to enimilate dairy (butter) so that you can serve the kugel with meat and keep Kosher. Butter and margarine have fairly different consistencies, so I might use a mix of butter and vegetable oil rather than swapping in butter completely. If you try the substitution, let us know how it turns out!
