There are two issues:

1. Mailstore
2. Everything else (ie Contacts)

You've a couple options.

First of all, if IMAP is available as an option, you can always use that
on both sides. A variation on that theme is to use offlineimap as the
transport to create local Maildir/ spools on each machine and have
evolution talk to the spools locally.

As for the rest, two suggestions:

a)

evolution --force-shutdown
scp -pr evolution/local/* othermachine:/home/user/evolution/local

b) Use a PDA as the conduit and sync to, and through, that.
