If you set up Google Sync using Exchange ActiveSync and include your Gmail Contacts as one of the items to sync I believe it will ask you if you want to replace all the contacts on your phone with the Google Contacts, or merge them. You then get to chose. After you're finished you will be synchronized OTA between your phone and Google Calendar.

This is done in Settings | Mail, Contacts, Calendar | Add Account...
