I haven't tried to do anything like this since I last owned a Palm, but check some of these links:

There seems to be a lot of ongoing activity around windows ce devices in general, so you might get lucky.

I just checked their site and to my surprise, they have a Windows Mobile version.
Check it out here:

It's neither free nor open source, but I had very good luck with the PalmOS version connecting to my Ubuntu laptop, and I assume the Windows Mobile version would be just as effective.

I just tried Card Export II on my Windows Mobile phone...it works just the same as the PalmOS version did on my Slackware box:
