It should be trivially possible to import
~/evolution/local/Calendar/calendar.ics (and similar .ics files for any
other calendars).  Addressbook is a little more difficult.  My advice is
to quit Evolution, run "evolution --force-shutdown", and copy the old
~/evolution/local/Contacts/addressbook.db over the new one.  I'm pretty
sure restarting Evolution would then result in seeing the old data.
Warning: if you have created new addressbook entries in the new install,
this will overwrite them.  In that case, you should start by saving them
as .vcf (from a running evolution, at the beginning of this process) and
import them once you're done.

There's nothing particularly treyf about Mandrake, but our download data
from the time when we supported Mandrake more broadly indicated that it
had very little market share.  That was the basis for the decision not
to support XD2 on Mandrake.
