If I understand you correctly, you are asking if you can use the Android
calendar app to work with a calendar that is *not* a Google Calendar.  I
don't think that is possible: the app is specifically for Google
calendars.  However, there may be other calendar apps out there that
could do what you want.

As a side note, I saw on the remind mailing list that somebody has
recently ported /remind/ to Android and there *is* an org2rem
translator...  but, again, it's one way IIRC.
