Google Voice doesn't support SIP. Google Voice only forwards calls to USA-based actual telephone numbers. The phone number can be issued by a POTS carrier, a VoIP carrier, or a mobile carrier, but it needs to be terminated on the US telephone network (that means, you need to be able to have Google call the phone number over the PSTN).

From Google's voice, you can not. But you can purchase a SIP DID number from places like Worldwide VoIP Origination and Termination and forward all the calls from your google voice number to this DID and the to a SIP account/server
