Don't know if it's exactly "painless" - but there's a utility that runs on
the Mac that converts BibTeX to Refer format, which can be then imported
by EndNote.

Some limitations are that it doesn't interpret BibTeX notation for
accented characters ({} stuff), and it's less tolerant than BibTeX when it
comes to the format of the BibTeX file (if you have misnamed fields, for
example). But for the most part, it saves a big part of the work of
converting the files, and I've used it a lot and have been quite happy
with it.

I'm no EndNote guru, but I don't think this is possible. I seem to recall
reading in the manual that this was not a feature of EndNote.

p.s. Unlike some LaTeX geeks who read this newsgroup, I answered your
question instead of bringing in politics about whether or not LaTeX is
better than Word.
