No, you really do need the source code (but only for building MN). I
know this is an unusual requirement, but I had no other choice given
the fact that the Evolution 2.x plugin API is too limited (MN needs
several Evolution functions which are not exported to the API).

Btw, if you want to build against Evolution 2.4.x (instead of 2.2.x),
you need to apply the patch I provide on the MN web page.
