Ok!
Obviously I was only half war right. Here I have some descriptions from a colleague living in Hawaii:

Hi Klaus,
Haha, living in Hawaii doesn't mean I am authoritative. :) But here is my 2 cents.
Hawaiian word wastes no letters. All letters are pronounced. All vowels are pronounced the same. http://www.geocities.com/TheTropics/Shores/6794/o-pronunciation.html. The exception is the first 'i' because of the 'okina (') in front of it. Okina (') or the glottal stop is a true consonant of the Hawaiian language. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okina. I would pronounce the first 'i' as 'i' in city. Since Okina ' is a letter, Kama'ilio is one single word, not two words.
Hope that helps.
Thanks, Richard
regards klaus

Hi!
I think this is wrong - do not pronounce it in English.
Kamailio is written Kama'ilio. Thus, 2 words. There is a glottal stop inbetween. I am not a linguist but I think it should be:
K about as in English a like a in far m about as in English a like a in above ' glottal stop i like ee in see l about as in English i like y in city o like o in sole
Please see attached the pronunciation theory, and how I would pronounce it.
