I just checked, and I see the birthdays' I've entered in my contacts show up in my calendar. You have to have the birthday calendar selected in the calendars you want displayed. It's at the bottom in the "Other" section. I'm not sure if I had to do anything to get it to show up there or not, but if you don't see it there, I'd go into the Settings for the iPhone and look around in the accounts options for calendars.
