You should be able to set it up just like any other IMAP account, provided you know the settings.

In Entourage, go to the "Tools" menu" and select "Accounts"

Click on the "New" button

The rest of this will be set up manually. Click the "Set up account Manually" button

Choose "IMAP" from the account type menu in the next window.

Give it whatever account name you want. This is only for a reference in the list of accounts you have set up in entourage.

Under Personal Information, your name can be listed as whatever you want people to see when you email them. Email address should be your gmail address.

Under "Receiving Mail" your account ID should be your full email address

IMAP server is imap.gmail.com

Type in your password if you would like to have Entourage save your password in the keychain.

Click on the ""Click here for advanced receiving options" button and check the box for "This IMAP service requires a secure connection (SSL)"

Click somewhere in the previous window to close this small pop-up window.

Under Sending Mail the server should be smtp.gmail.com

Click on "Click here for advanced sending options." In the little pop-up window, check the box for "SMTP service requires secure connection (SSL)" and for "Override default SMTP port." Then replace "25" with "587."

Next, continuing in this little pop-up window, check the box "SMTP server requires authentication" and select "Use same settings as receiving mail server"

Click outside the pop-up window to go back to the main Edit Account window.

Click "OK" and go back to the main entourage window, and your gmail account should be populating on the left-hand side.
