No, but I would have used a totally different approach.
With readpst you can convert a pst file to a mbox file (standard 
Unix/Linix mailbox file).

I'm not familiar with Evolution, but according to one article I found on 
teh interwebs, you can just drag&drop a standard mbox file in the 
Evolution window, and it will import the whole file.

Perhaps my way is not the recommended way, but I'm a text mode person. :)
