Go to VersionTracker or MacUpdate and search on "PIM".

Now Up-To-Date is probably the best known PIM for the Mac, but  
according to comments at MacUpdate it's alarms are unreliable and the  
developer doesn't seem to be in a hurry to fix the problem. A PIM  
whose alarms don't work seems pretty pointless to me.
