1. Those commands are already bound by default to M-v/C-v and
   <prior>/<next>, and you can also get the same effect from
   M-3 C-x < and M-3 C-x >.

2. Who's to say the scrolling commands are the best commands to bind to
   < and >?  (Note that calendar-beginning-of-year and
   calendar-end-of-year are bound to M-< and M->.)  Why do the < and >
   keys need to be bound?

3. DIY:

(add-hook 'calendar-load-hook
          (lambda ()
            (define-key calendar-mode-map "<"
              'scroll-calendar-right-three-months)
            (define-key calendar-mode-map ">"
              'scroll-calendar-left-three-months)))
