Can you, or somebody else confirm that this will work with a local Linux PC without a detour in the cloud, before I go to the trouble of installing that stuff?

Well, there is syncml for every linux pc of course, so you can sync through syncml to your Evolution/Kontact. Use syncevolution as a rudementary syncml server over http and away you go, see http://syncevolution.org/
Also take a look at opensync on linux (with eg. syncml plugin), I believe multisync is a frontend gui for it (at least on fedora).
