Supposedly Darwin Calendar Server (caldavd) has been ported to FreeBSD. I don't use evolution so no idea if this will work for you but I use apache + webDAV and that seems to work fine with sunbird & iCal for multiple users. If I was setting this up today I'd probably just go with Google Calendar. It is web accessible as well as via iCal and sunbird/lightning etc. Unless you have a real itch to scratch, it is not worth spending time on building your own. Why not spend that time doing something new & exciting?;-)
