I would think this is possible. This may be a bit too optimistic a view, 
however, considering the scale of the two projects involved...

Obviously you'd have to try and match your own Cyrus & Apache configuration to 
something similar to the Kolab setup in order for it to work properly, or 
else hack the Kolab driver for Kronolith to support any deviations in your 
setup (mainly thinking about things like directory structures, hierarchy 
delimiters in Cyrus, username format, etc).

You'd also have to install MySQL or PosgreSQL or something similar to store 
both the Horde Datatree system and the Preference system. Unless of course 
you install LDAP and have a similar structure within that in terms of a user 
hierarchy. There are probably several other facets you'd also have to take 
into consideration that I didn't touch on here.

So, yes, it's most likely possible, but probably not worthwhile. And you'd 
pretty much be on your own if you decided to go this route :-)
