The etymology of the phrase is traced back to Aurthurian Lore. Huckleberry Garlands were said to be given to Knights of the Kingdom for coming to the service of a damsel. They would approach the lady, lower their lance, and receive the small branch as a symbol of gratitude; much like a medal.
Therefore, "I'm Your Huckleberry" literally means "I'm your Hero."
In current adaptaions, in reference to the movie Tombstone, it means "I'm your man." as an affirmative response to a challenge.

RINGO:
Wretched slugs, don't any of you
Have the guts to play for blood?
O.S. VOICE:

Ringo turns. Doc stands there, smiling that Cheshire cat
smile.
DOC
That's just my game.
