Almost.
pilot-xfer is a userland "conduit" that ships with the pilot-link
package.
pilot-link provides libraries that these conduits use (libpisock). These
libraries provide the lower-level functions to talk to the Palm device
and its applications.
J-Pilot (and several dozen other applications) take advantage of this,
and link to libpisock to leverage these functions for its GUI. This
means that you can have libpisock installed, and not have the userland
("commandline") conduits installed.
A lot of Linux distros break these into two distinct packages.
