Don't worry, the evolution conduits come in the base evolution package
on Ubuntu.

I think what you're missing is the need to enable the Evolution
conduits.  When you bring up the configuration applet for gnome-pilot,
click on "Conduits", make sure your PDA is selected (you have probably
only got one configured) and then make sure the Evolution conduits are
Enabled (EAddress, ECalendar, EMemos, ETodo).  You can then decide if
you want to synchronise, overwrite the desktop from the PDA or overwrite
the PDA from the desktop.
