Well, I guess there is an easy, but time consuming solution (1) and a 
solution that needs some coding, but is fast (2):

1) You could use the $modelObj (tx_cal_model_controller) from the base 
service to find all events (findEventsWithin)

2) You use a TYPO3 backend (and cal-frontend hook - if needed) and catch 
event manipulations. Than store the categories of those events per month 
and calendar in a database.
In your module__marker you query the correct month(s) with the available 
categories.

Sorry, but it really looks like there is no simple solution.
