sure, I don't use it.

this is apache way to solve a problem. I suggest reading
http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/converting_rewrite_rules.html

in nginx it should look like this:
(the order locations appear in nginx.conf does not matter)

location / {
   ...
}

location /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync {
   alias /path/to/horde/rpc.php;
   fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
   $usual fcgi_arguments
}

location /autodiscover/autodiscover.xml {
   # same as above ...
}

you could repeat the last block 4 times in different cases to avoid  
regex matching on every request
No idea if it's worth. But maybe somebody could measure the difference  
once he has a running setup.
