each different smart card needs its own driver.
nobody wrote a driver for the eGK so far, so it is not supported.
also -not 100% sure - the current eGK is dumb and only stores
contact data like the old card? thus that functionality is not covered
by opensc.

only advanced models of the eGK might be interesting, once they contain
crypto capabilities, certificates, and so on.

p.s. you could look at http://smartcard-auth.de/download-de.html for a
commercial software vor windows that works with eGK. if you need linux,
maybe peter also has a linux version.
