I also have this problem. It started with a recent Evolution patch that Update Manager installed around 5/30/08. Someone on Ubuntu forums made the observation that this seems to occur if you set your OS to auto-login. If you disable auto-login then Evolution does not ask for keyring password. I tried this and it worked for me. So for me, I can either auto-login, then type in keyring password the first time I load Evolution (I don't have to type in any passwords after the first time); or I can disable auto-login and not be prompted for keyring password when I launch Evolution. I understand this is a workaround, but thought I would mention it in the event it helps you out.
