Neil Outlook for Windoze is able to send an out of office message because the Exchange server it connects to does this. So when it receives mail for someone with an out of office message set Exchange generates the reply. If you are using Entourage with Exchange this may be possible - it certainly will be for your Exchange admin. But if you use Entourage to POP off your ISP then, unless your ISP's mail server allows you to, you can't set up the out of office message.
You can certainly use rules to generate a reply to all incoming mail but your Mac needs to be connected in order to do this. Which probably defeats the purpose. Basically the out of office reply is not a feature of the mail client (Outlook or Entourage) but a feature of the mail server.
