Totally simple in Entourage:

set dsk to path to desktop as Unicode text
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
tell contact "Joe Blow" -- or some other way of specifying contact
set n to its name
set vData to its vcard data
end tell
end tell
set f to open for access file (dsk & n & ".vcs") with write permission
set eof f to 0
write vData to f
close access f

No way that I know in Address Book without resorting to GUI scripting -
maybe - and trying to delay long enough until the 'save' sheet drops down.
And even if you could do that, you wouldn't have any control over where it
was saved to!

I do hope they make some way to export and import vCards in Address Book. I
filed it as a feature request quite some time ago.
