You could drag your Entourage contact to the Desktop, which will create a
vCard for each; you can then drag those into Address book. However, if you
have a lot of contacts in Entourage, or plan on updating both Entourage and
Address Book, the following sync scripts are a better idea:

That being said, you don't really *need* to import Entourage contacts into
Address Book. If the only reason you're using Address Book is for iChat, you
can simply add your friends and family to your Buddy List manually.

Your friends and relatives should provide you with their AIM or .Mac
account. You can then add them to your Buddy List -- if you use Address
Book, it has a field for AIM/.Mac address, and you can simply select them
from Address Book. If not, you can add them manually: iChat will ask for
their name and AIM/.Mac address.

Once you add someone to your Buddy List, it reflects their current status
(Offline, Online but Away, Online and Available, etc.).
