Last I checked, no.  But that's more Google's fault than ours.

I haven't tested Google's recently-released CalDAV v2 interface, but at
least on their older password-based v1 interface Google does not export
VTODO iCalendar objects, only VEVENTs for Google Calendar.

I believe, however, we have a Google Summer of Code student writing a
whole new Evolution-Data-Server backend that gets to Google Tasks via
Google's web API instead of iCalendar as a stopgap measure.

I would also point out that Yahoo!'s CalDAV interface already exports
both VEVENT and VTODO objects.  That's an alternate solution for tasks
that works with Evolution today.
