This isn't quite it, either, but here is a script that will open a folder and select the messages containing a particular subject. Just select any message in the thread and run the script. (Paste it into Script Editor, save it in Entourage Script Menu Items with name of your choice, I use “Show Thread”, then select it from the script menu to run.) It will do the rest. Obviously, if you are already viewing the folder in question and are in threaded view, you don't need the script. Where it helps is when you have a Custom View that displays just <some> messages from a thread (like unread ones) and you want to see the entire thread.

Combine this with Mickey's CV, and maybe you have something close to what you are looking for.

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
    activate
    set theMsg to item 1 of (get current messages)
    set theFolder to storage of theMsg
    set theSubj to the subject of theMsg
    if theSubj begins with "re: " then set theSubj to text 5 thru -1 of theSubj
    set theThread to every message of theFolder whose subject contains theSubj
    open theFolder
    set the selection to theThread
end tell
