As far as I know there is no support yet.
I did some patches a while back, but they are not enough to get things
working.
I'm not planning to do any more work on this, I've found that using
SyncML with Horde and my P900 and using Horde as a CalDAV server for
Evolution is closer to the setup I want. I hope someone will pick it up
and continue. (Thus the crosspost to opensync-devel.)

If you are interested in coding then you could start with my pacthes,
none of these is integrated in Subversion as far as I know.
I'm also a lot more proficient in Java than C/C++, but it's not as hard
as it seems at first if you are able to spend a little time working on
it.

First of all you need to have support for SyncML 1.2. You need to
compile with libwbxml 0.9.2 (0.9.0 is usually recommended), and use this
patch:

This should be enough to use the test server.

You also need a patch to do MD5 authentication for real syncing:

After this I ran into a problem with "missing" mime type for the entries
sent from the phone, this is probably not solved yet:
