Yes, through a third party script from Paul Berkowitz.

In fact, it's not even all that easy to move iCal data into Entourage. It's
probably possible with Paul Berkowitz's scripts, but I haven't looked at
them for calendar support.
Note that Entourage doesn't support importing iCalendar (the .ics format)
files with multiple events in them. This is a limitation of several calendar
programs. Unfortunately, it's also a key export feature for many calendar
programs, and probably preserves the most data.
Since Entourage is very scriptable, it is quite possible that you could
write a script to parse iCalendar files, break the contents into individual
events, and then create those events via AppleScript. We did something
similar to that with exported tab-delimited text files from the
CorporateTime calendar client; we used Perl to parse the files, outputting
text that was AppleScript. That AppleScript text was then piped through the
osascript command so that it ran the AS commands. (This was all done at the
Terminal level, so it's not the friendliest, most accessible thing to do.)

And even when it is, it will only work with 2004, not X.

In a few days it will be. I'm waiting for Entourage 2004 to be officially
released before I announce the script. But it's there, if you can figure out
where. ;-) One of the other MVPs, Bernard Rey, did some wonderful
beta-testing so it seems to be working fine now. (And it's much faster than
the Address Book script.) Until I release it properly it's available only in
Demo mode (full featured). But that lasts 14 days, so a full activation code
will be purchasable before the 14 days are up.
And, as Dave says, it will only work with 2004. Entourage 2004 has new
AppleScript features which make a true sync possible. (iCal's AppleScript is
very peculiar, so it's best to read some of the ReadMe to acquaint yourself
with it)
