There is some useful data at:

ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/DATA

The README file contains details of each file.  The gene2accession.gz file 
contains genbank accession numbers and maps them back to Entrez Gene ID.  The 
gene_info.gz file contains the Entrez Gene summary information for all Entrez 
Genes.  With these two files (loaded into appropriate perl hashes), your task 
can be complete relatively easily.  

Alternatively, you could use the eUtils modules, which I think are available 
only via CVS.
