Calendar:
I would sync the Outlook calendar into an empty Google Calendar, using Google Calendar Sync. Do a one-way sync from your Mac to Google and then switch off the sync function.
You can then either just add the Google calendar to your Mac and store everything online or alternatively you can export the Google calendar as an .ics file and then import it into Apple iCal
Contacts:
Export you Outlook contacts as a .pst fileand import those into Google Contacts
Then either sync Apple Address Book to Google to get them all back in http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1245, or export them from Google in vCard format and import that file into Apple Address Book
Or just turn on Sync Services in Outlook's Preferences. Check the Tools menu, then Sync Services, to make sure you're syncing what you need. You'll also need to make sure you have the latest update to Outlook/Office to enable iCal syncing.

I've done all the step recommended by Matt. Still nothing in iCal (a.k.a. Calendar on Mountain Lion). The Contacts from Outlook 2011 do get synced to Apple Contacts, so I know that Sync Services is running. What other tricks can I try to get calendar entries synced with Outlook 2011?
Try resetting Sync Services:

That doesn't work if the OP is using iCloud for his contacts and calendars.
i know it is a bit late, but try to export the file from putlook to .olm file and then either drag and drop it on iCal or just import it. It should work. /P
