I¹ve almost solved this problem using Sync Services, iCal, Address Book and .mac.
First, get a .mac account. $100 per year, but worth it for lots of reasons. Second, set up Entourage to sync with iCal and Address Book using Sync Services. Third, ³share² and/or ³publish² your calendar, contacts (and bookmarks) using System Preferences for .mac. Now you can access and change calendar and contact info from your MacBook (or any computer, if you ³share²), and Entourage will be kept in sync. I find this works most of the time; I use it to keep calendar, address books and bookmarks in sync across ten Macs and to check from any computer anywhere. Once in a while the information won¹t update properly from iCal to .Mac, so I have to do a forced resync from System Preferences or an ³unpublish/republish² sequence in iCal. But it¹s the best solution I¹ve found so far. I¹m continually tempted to just switch to the Apple apps just to make this all easier and reliable, but I know I¹ll miss a lot of the features of Entourage. Hope this helps.
