I don't think it can trivially be made to work.

Exchange is fundamentally X.400. 

The parts that are in Kolab can't do X.400 (AFAICT). You'd need a product that 
understood all of the Exchange DCE calls.

The only product that I know of that solves anything like part of this problem 
is http://www.bynari.net/bynari/insightcon.html

Of course, given Ethereal and enough time, it would be possible. However it is 
probably a project on the scale of Samba, and it'd need some serious full 
time coders applied. Maybe IBM or Sun would sponsor it - who knows?
