Of course, it always requires some expense...but isn't as geeky as you might expect.
I use Timbuktu for remote access, cross platform no les. Two Macs & Win at work, one Mac at home. Timbuktu lets you:
- move files
- control your computer visually (this is the feature you'd need)
- send message
- look at what the computer is doing (if someone else is using)
- and more.
I wouldn't buy it just to access your Entourage calendar. If you have a need to frequently access your systems for files and such, it is well worth the cost. I do file transfers through OS X built in features quite a bit, but when I need to really look at a file before moving it or log in and forward an email to myself that I received at work or help my wife with something on the home system, TB2's Control feature is priceless.
You may be able to do all the same stuff with Apple's Remote Desktop (more pricey). I have not experience there so can't say how it compares.

Hope this helps, even though it may be beyond what you'd intended to get into.

If you are willing to pay Apple $100/year for a mac.com account, and $49 for
the iLife suite (or get a copy of iCal when you buy a new computer), iCal
will sync using iSync to your mac.com calendar.
"So what?" you say? "I want to sync my Entourage calendar to something on
the web." Well, before long (maybe another three or four months), I'll bet
Paul Berkowitz will have finished his as yet unfinished set of scripts to
sync Entourage's calendar to iCal. Then you can use Entourage, sync to iCal,
and sync that to mac.com.
Another possibility: If your computer is always online with broadband, you
might be able to set up remote access to it, so that you can use another Mac
to log in to your home machine and check your calendar. But that involves
geeky tricks that go way beyond the scope of this list, and beyond my
abilities.
