For me thats (in an org file) C-c C-e (org-export) and then selecting "c" to export to an ical file. This creates (it would be nice to have a variable) ~/org.ics What I then do is regularly move to my my web server using scp and cron but you can do that however you like if you have your own web server. Else I believe there are other sites which allow you to host iCal files. Then in Google, go to calendar and in the bottom left you see which calendars are imported to your main Google calendar. Add has an option to add by url. Voila! On my blackberry I then run gsync and using the rather nice iBerry Today theme I see a preview of messages and relevant iCal entries on the homepage. With latest git version export to iCal is broken for me but I believe Carsten is addressing it. HTH, regards r.
