For god's sake it's now in the AddressBook as of SL and Lion. Supported out of the box! My original post was for 10.4 I believe, it won't work for the new OSes, but it's native in 10.6/7 now.
Got a tip for us?

Syncing Google Apps Contacts and OSX Address Book

There's a great app I've used in the App Store named 'Contacts Sync For Googlemail', it syncs both/either way with your address book and it works well. I don't think it runs automatically but it certainly takes any effort checking manually away.
Which version of Mac OS X are you using?
Is appears from the current Google help page that "Address Book.app" isn't supported anymore; rather, Google supports syncing, via CardDAV, with "Contacts.app." When did Contacts replace Address Book? I don't know, but I'm running OS X 10.6.8, and it doesn't work for me.

Google dropped contacts syncing on previously un-synced Macs via the checkbox method at the end of January 2013.
CardDav syncing of Address Book with Google contacts doesn't work in Snow Leopard, for some reason.
