It depends on the firmware of the Nokia 6230 if it supports SyncML via OBEX.
4.xx and greater supports it... If you have a mobile which don't support 
SyncML via OBEX you can also use the gnokii-sync plugin of OpenSync.
Enter this on your mobile to check the firmware: *#0000#

Which distribution do you have? For most there exist the most recent packages 
for OpenSync and the plugins. There are also packages for the OpenSync 
frontends like kitchensync or multisync.

A guid to build kitchensync for OpenSync from scratch:
http://www.opensync.org/wiki/kitchensync

For synchronization you have to create a group with kdepim-sync and 
syncml-obex-client (or gnokii-sync if SyncML via OBEX is not supported by 
your 6230).

In the http://www.opensync.org/wiki/DeviceCompatibilityList is a quite old 
entry which say it requires SyncML 1.1 support in libsyncml. In meanwhile 
libsyncml supports 1.1 and the mobile should be now supported.
