Make sure that you have Outlook 2011 SP1 (14.1) or later. Microsoft re-added the .mbox export feature as of that version. Then drag an Outlook 2011 folder from the list to your desktop, and you will have an importable Apple Mail .mbox. Select Import Mailboxes in Mail, choose "files in mbox format", and select the exported mailbox.

Someone else may have a better idea for contacts and calendars, but one way is to turn on Sync Services under the Tools menu in Outlook.

Regards.
