Maybe this was already known in these circles but it was news to me, I just read somewhere else that you can use a Google account to make calls without needing to have a Google Voice DID. So with that, you can use it as an outgoing trunk in FreePBX. This is for outgoing only so you will have to make up a DID for routing purposes. The outgoing CID will be whatever Google makes it. This ability may be related to the new Hangouts integration into Android and with that the need to no longer forward calls to any number at all. I tested this with two accounts without GV DID's and they both connected and made test calls. YMMV but hopefully works for you.
Edit: The CNAM you will receive for calls made from you Google acct (without a GV DID) will come with a CNAM of "Google Guy". WTFTMs. Tell all your friends.
