no go with syncmypics. Workaround using Picasa on a computer.
I tried.
However, some of my Facebook contacts do not push to my phone at all. I though I may have had been unfriended by them for some odd reason, but they're still on Facebook. So unless my friends have their privacy settings on full "paranoid, don't share any data outside of Facebook" somehow, I'm not getting anything from outside apps for them either, as I need to have them on my contacts list as facebook friends, before syncmypics will pull pictures for them.
I did find a partial workaround for those contacts I do meet socially and have pictures of, using Picasa. (It works great for those contacts not on facebook, too.)
Contact pictures can be added from your PC, using Picasa.
First, make sure your copy of picasa is logged in to your Google account. (on your computer, not your phone.)
Then, tag your contact in a photo. Make sure after tagging it shows your tagged person as an "online contact."
Then, right click on the thumbnail of the person, and select "use as Google contact Thumbnail."
Check your contact on the phone, it should update fairly quickly.
You can do this without uploading any pictures to web albums.
If you try doing it from Gmail contacts, for example, you'll only be able to upload a picture from your web albums, (which I didn't try, so I won't comment on,) or you can upload them from your PC directly, but then you'll have to wait for the upload, crop it to find the face and generally take much longer than if you use photos you may already have tagged in Picasa.
