Unfortunately, at the moment Opensync is severely broken (it is being rewritten, with many improvements, but it is going more slowly than planned). If you can afford to wait another 6 months it may be usable again, and I may even have the Maemo port working again! The advantage of Opensync is that it has (although they haven't been ported to the new API yet) plugins for both Google and Evolution Data Server. I am sure there would be interest in adapting those plugins to do what you need. But, it is not an option today. My suggestion: create a one-way sync yourself and look to moving to Opensync for two-way sync when it is working again next year. There is another option: there has been discussion on the GPE list of moving GPE contacts to use the built-in contacts database in EDS. If that happened, you could make use of the GPE contacts import (which has been much improved and is being actively maintained to fix problems with import from Google and other systems). So, another option is for you to look into whether that is possible and whether you could contribute to that.
