Not at the moment. This makes sense in the long term, but probably  
won't work as you'd expect either. This would be necessary to allow  
client to sync arbitrary fields with Turba, without losing them. But  
you still won't be able to edit or otherwise use them in Turba. For  
that you still need to know the semantics of this field, i.e. it needs  
to be added to the backend and mapped in the synchronizer.

That would require Turba to be able to act as a CardDAV client, which  
is still on the todo list.
