Please have a look at http://www.openpkg.org/about.html and 
http://www.openpkg.org/faq.html

Yes.

See the faq.

> Have these package been patched so the will work with the kolab server?

Yes partly.

> Do

Yes, they don't interfere with your existing packages. Of course some packages 
use the same resources e.g. a network port which prevents them from running 
simultaneously without manual modifications (e.g. change of port numbers.)
