At the moment, using a Google account to authenticate to a non-Google resource is not possible (that I'm aware of). I seem to recall someone else asking the same thing awhile ago and someone from Google confirming this. However, you could always submit it as a feature enhancement.
Alternatively, look at Google's SSO implementation with SAML. What this will allow you to do is delegate authentication to YOUR system. When the user attempts to log into Google, they will be redirected to an authentication resource on your side. You do whatever you need to do to authenticate the user, then send the user back to Google with a token. Now, there's nothing to say you can't inject your own SSO token into the user's browser during authentication to identify the user in other applications you'd like the user to gain access to.
