can't you export them as vcards? Drag the contacts from your address book to the desktop or some other folder, then move them to your mac and drop them into entourage's contact window. if you can't drag-drop to create vcards, try using the export function.

Dragging to a folder on the desktop would be the way to do it. Exporting creates an address book file which is not compatible as it is not a vcard.
