Hi,
I'm speaking of the firmware updates (EFI, in this case) that we get
as part of a normal OSX software update. These are probably also
included in bootcamp, but if the OSX software is up-to-date, a user
will already have the firmware update that includes the BIOS
emulation. Here is the latest MBP update (I think):
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
macbookproefifirmwareupdate12.html
The bootcamp package is mainly for getting windows going (drivers cd)
and an easy-to-use partition tool. I don't believe anything in the
bootcamp package is necessary to get Linux going on a Mac.
Also, I would expect that all new Mac laptops after a certain point
would have BIOS emulation in the firmware out the door.

Most people think that bootcamp provides the BIOS functionality. It
is actually the firmware update that does that and is independent
of bootcamp.
