You can't do it during Evolution Palm Sync, but...

In a terminal window

$ pilot-xfer -i /path/app.prc

substituting the path and file name of the app to be installed for
/path/app.prc

pilot-xfer will prompt you to press the sync button, and installation
will proceed ... separate from a sync.

This capability is provided by the Pilot-Link package.  The evolution
install replaces pilot-link with pilot-link.ximian, a version tuned to
work with Evolution.  In theory,it should still work, but as a
disclaimer, I synced once to transfer my contacts, then deleted
pilot-link.ximian and gnome_pilot and reinstalled the original
pilot-link package.  I can no longer sync with Evolution, but my ability
to sync with jpilot is restored along with all of the pilot-link
features which I use extensively.  I wasn't ready to give up jpilot's
light footprint, its ability to sync memos and perform full backups. 
And I suggest you read the man page for pilot-link and its components. 
If you don't mind the console interface, it provides a lot of very
important palm utilities.
