This is unfortunately not always possible. There is no 'eval' => 'email' 
AFAIK and maybe some 'eval' validation options are not (yet) available 
in extbase (FLOW3).

I'll see if I can compile a list of validators for TCA and extbase. I am 
willing to make a patch for the core to add "missing" eval rules to TCA 
(I only need some possitive votes for that patch ;-) )

Also the validation rules themselves have to be in sync (is 
alphanumerical really [a-zA-Z0-9]* ?? What about diacriticals?)

Kind regards,
