Will Entourage (current and / or future versions) be able to sync
email, calendar, and contacts with a .Mac account?

These are very different components, and they do not all sync the same way,
but yes, it is possible.
* e-mail: configure .Mac as IMAP in Entourage and any other e-mail client
you might want to use, and you can access your e-mail messages from any
e-mail application (and the web interface).
* calendar and contacts: you will need Entourage 2004 (>v.11.2.3) and Mac OS
X 10.4.x. If you have these two, make sure they are both up-to-date, then
enable Sync Services in Entourage's preferences. Your calendar and contacts
are now synched with iCal and Address Book. If you have your .Mac account
configured to back up these items with the .Mac server (in System
Preferences), everything's fine.
Note: Entourage creates a calendar named "Entourage" in iCal. If you create
new events in iCal, they have to be assigned to that calendar, otherwise,
they won't sync. The same thing is true the other way round: if you create
an event in Entourage, it will be created in the "Entourage" calendar in
iCal. WARNING: deleting the "Entourage" calendar in iCal results in the
deletion of EVERY SINGLE CALENDAR ENTRY AND TASK in Entourage. You won't get
warned, so whatever you do: if Sync Services are enabled, do *not* delete
the "Entourage" calendar in iCal.

The problem is that in 10.5 the sync conditions have change and entourage
contacts and address book are no longer working. Address book only gives you
the option to sync with Exchange webmail. Any ideas?

The settings to sync Entourage with the Address Book are in Entourage
preferences. Entourage 2004 syncs with the Address Book and .Mac in both
Tiger and Leopard.
Options in the Address Book don't recognize other email applications for
syncing. This is left to the individual clients to sync with the Address
Book.
