Sort of.  I have a backport of pilot-link 0.11.7 and a Treo-patched
version of gnome-pilot 0.1.71 available for Debian, for just the same
reason (not interested in GNOME 2 just yet for similar reasons).  It may
need a bit of work to get the Treo 180 recognized, but a lot less work
than with plain 0.1.71.

Also, evolution 1.0.5's conduits don't seem to work with this
gnome-pilot, not sure why (e-todo crashes gpilotd, e-address and
e-calendar don't do anything).

Note: you'll need the source tarball and .diff.gz (let me know if you
need patching instructions); you can ignore the .dsc as it's specific to
Debian packaging.

If you're interested, that dir also has a gnome-pim with working
conduits (which required a pretty hefty patch!).

Zeen,
