Sascha has been working on SyncML infrastructure for Akonadi as his Google 
Summer of Code project.
(playground/pim/syncml)

So far this is mostly for being a SyncML client, i.e. syncing with a SyncML 
server.

Implementing a SyncML server, e.g. directly sycning a client device with the 
PC, was planned but the available/chosen libraries were too limited.

There seems to be consensus to try a server based on Synthesis, maybe 
integrating with or reusing parts of SyncEvolution.
