Yes, unfortunately birthdays, anniversaries and contact photos (at
least) are not supported currently.  There are a couple of bugs in
Evolution contact handling that are blocking development of these
features.  The main one blocking me is:

If you have an up to date version of Evolution you can sync categories
between Evo and Palm.  It's not equivalent to separate calendars, of
course, but you might be able to make some use of it.  A feature request
for gnome-pilot is to support mapping Evo calendars to palm categories,
but that's not likely to happen any time soon unless someone steps up to
implement it.

Sorry not to be more encouraging.

You can check out the "jpilot" package if you want more complete syncing
without the Evolution integration.
