PST is a proprietary format.

Thunderbird can import PST's, but not sure it plays well with the calendar on Exchange. I think there's problems accepting meetings.

Evolution's going to be your best open-source app for connecting to an Exchange servers, but not sure how it handles PST's. You might give it a try.
