Categorize Duplicate Contacts 2.0 is a free script by Allen Watson: 
http://scriptbuilders.net/files/categorizeduplicatecontacts2.0.html

It locates duplicate contacts in the Entourage Address Book and marks 
them by assigning them to a category of "Duplicate". The user can then 
use Address Book filtering (the box at the upper right of Address Book) 
to isolate all contacts in Duplicate category and process them as desired.

Merge Two Contacts

or 

Merge Contacts

should finish up the job nicely.
