I found a workaround that might work and goes the two ways (Drupal-->GoogleApps 
and GoogleApps--->Drupal)

If you manually add a user in google apps and in Drupal using the same 
username, they get sync. If you reset the password in Drupal, then password 
gets reseted in GoogleApps as well.

Pratical example:

1.Grab a Drupal user that already exists and does not exist in GoogleApps. 
2.Add that user to GoogleApps manually with a chosen password.
3.Login in www.google.com/a/yourdomain.com with that username and password.
4.Accept the license
log out.
5.Login to Drupal with your admin password and change that user password to the 
one you choose in googleapps.

Instead of 5 you can choose to reset user's password and inform him via email.

Of coruse this would be tiresome if you have a huge user database. Although I 
think there is a googleApps service that enables mass add of users.
