There's no way to do that.* Rules aren't scriptable. On the other hand, just
about any rule can be replicated as a 1-to-3 line AppleScript, so a script
could agglomerate them all.

* There's something called "GUI scripting" - emulating your selected
Message/Apply Rule/All Rules - which should be able to do it but might not
be 100% reliable if something else is going on at the same time - i.e. don't
run it from a schedule. This _should_ work (untested):

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set displayed feature of main window to mail area
activate
select main window
--all this should already be in place, with messages selected
end tell
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Microsoft Entourage"
pick menu item "All Rules" of menu 1 of menu item "Apply Rule" of
menu 1 of menu bar item "Message" of menu bar 1
end tell
end tell

or better, if your Entourage is not English-language (or even if it is), for
the second part:

tell application "System Events"
tell process "Microsoft Entourage"
pick menu item 1 of menu 1 of menu item 24 of menu 1 of menu bar
item 6 of menu bar 1
end tell
end tell
