There is indeed an easy way...
I've been using multisync to sync the calendar and addressbook on my
computer at home with the one at work and it works just fine. It uses
the public apis from evolution, so it works even if evolution is running
on both machines.

You'll find multisync here:
        http://multisync.sourceforge.net/
        
I run the remote sync over a ssh forwarded port, which also works fine.
But is tedious to set up.
