depends :)
to be precise: can sunbird use the .ics files from korganiser directly ?
if so, you could just create an account at http://getdropbox.com and store 
your .ics/std.vcs ... files there.
then make a symlink to e.g. ~/Dropbox/pim-data/std.vcs from your 
~/.kde/share/apps/kabc directory there, same for .ics files etc.
every time you change an address/appointment on one machine, this gets 
automatically uploaded to the dropbox server and subsequently sync'd back to 
all your other machines when they get online again.
works like a charm here.
