You can configure each part of the Entourage separately, and even choose not
to sync the Calendar. But that doesn't really help you because the conduit
itself won't let you have the Palm Calendar conduit installed at the same
time as the Entourage Calendar (for obvious reasons).

You could write a script that would move the Entourage Conduit out and the
Palm conduit in, do another sync, and run another script to put it all back
to the original configuration. Or you could just try to get along with the
Palm solution or the Entourage solution.
