The gnome-pilot project is working toward this goal.  The mailing list is
gnome-pilot@gnome.org, I believe.  

Currently, there is a nice panel applet that will sync your pilot using
the gpilotd daemon.  There is also a control-center applet to configure
the daemon.  You can link to the webpage through the gnome software map at
www.gnome.org.  

Now the problem here is that there are really no conduits for gnome
programs yet.  As soon as I pass my PhD generals(in late may), if no one
has already done so, I am going to try to write these conduits.  If you
are so inclined you could try to start writing them :)
