I have had ongoing problems with this very issue. You can try
gnome-calendar, as it uses vCal formats -- but I've had problems with
its alarms, and it isn't easy to have multiple calendars.
Since you're sinking with your handheld, I'd highly suggest jpilot --
it works almost exactly like the Palm Desktop for Windows, but better.
It has a number of plugins for different Palm applications, and can do
alarms.
