This may be along the lines of what you're looking for? I was
trying to
figure out how to get .mac without .mac, and this made it to my
list of
things to look at when I have more time.
Mmm, not quite. From that page (which has been around for a long
time, but I'm glad to see he's updated it):
The one last loose end is adding iSync support so that I can use my
own server to sync Address Book, iCal, and Safari bookmarks between
my systems. Jeremy Baker has headed down that road so I expect to
spend some time tinkering with that in the future.
The page he mentions -- http://www.confusticate.com/tech/isync/ --
hasn't been updated since 2004. :(
The iCal "solution" is simply your standard one-way WebDAV
publishing. Two-way syncing is a whole 'nothing thing. Apple stuff
does merging and conflict resolution, much like Subversion and the
like. Speaking of Subversion, I was thinking maybe that'd be one
solution to iCal sharing -- a WebDAV server that really has a source-
control system on the back end. Or perhaps one could use SVK or some
other distributed source-control system; the .ics files are just text
files, after all. (I'd hate to merge iCalendar files by hand, but
maybe a front-end app could handle the merging).
I know that OS X's syncing up phones etc. is done with SyncML,
described here:

syncmlindex.html
Not sure if that's the way .Mac works, too.
