The freebusy information can be generated by a PHP script, etc... if the 
calendar is stored in a database, etc...  The Horde package Kronolith can 
display freebusy from their calendering applicaiton.

The Horde project applications (the CVS/HEAD versions anyway) express 
there functionality via XML-RPC.  There is already a palm sync conduit for 
Win32 desktops under developement.  If someone wrote a pcs module for 
evolution that used their XML-RPC api...  The libraries evo "contains" 
already know how to do things like SOAP, XML-RPC, and the like.
