From Entourage, highlight all your contacts and drag/drop them into a folder, say, on the Desktop. This will create a folder of vCards.

Then, in Address Book, use File>Import...>vCards... , and select the folder you dragged the Entourage vCards to. Should import fine. Worked for me.

Good luck. Sorry, I don't know at all about the Filemaker stuff.

Don't know about Filemaker - but for Entourage:

Make a new Folder for Contacts. Go into Entourage and group select all the contacts you want to transfer. Drag them as one batch to your new folder - Entourage will export them as VCard files. (As far as I know, this is teh only way to do this from Entourage unless you want to do it one @ a time.)

Now you can import that folder into Address Book.

Easier than transfering contacts back and forth between Outlook and Outlook Express on the PC - I can tell you that But still not as intuitive as it should be.
