Here I am. The procedure requires you have your contacts in one or more .vcf files. Assuming the file to be:  "/home/phablet/Documents/contacts.vcf" you can import using this command:

syncevolution --import /home/phablet/Documents/contacts.vcf backend=evolution-contacts database=Personal

In my case I had a single vcf per contact, so i iterated the command over the entire fileset.

I found this solution on AskUbuntu:  http://askubuntu.com/a/372342
