Welcome to the forums,
Early Disclaimer: I'm not a mac user, and then of course I can't actively test the iSync connector-lol. So in a sec I'll move this to the
Apple iSync section where you can be better helped (don't worry it'll auto redirect).

Well for starters the GAL is dynamic, plus the idea is to not have people query & download a 50k user address list and have it fall into the wrong hands!
There used to be
Bug 14120 - GAL access through isync >
Bug 18172 - RFE:- Global Address Book Should be available as a Directory in Mac Address Book.
(the outlook connector is a little different and does setup GAL)

Option 1) Setup LDAP access to the GAL in Apple's Address Book. Mind the old screenshot...you'll need to guess/get the search base from your IT dept:
Option 2) using the web-client make yourself an address book called 'StaticGAL' > run searches for . after you select 'global address book' from the main search bar (everyone has a . in their name I assume) > then drag contacts to your personal address book (StaticGAL). Thus, you can now sync that 'Static GAL' in iSync

From their admin console downloads section, or via http:// server.domain.com/downloads/index.html
Though that page will obviously tell you if they haven't moved the connectors out of it, to see the version that the server is currently on; you can also enter the below in the main search bar of the advanced (ajax) web-client:
Also note: Shared addressbook access is planned for v5 of the iSync connector.
