BCB6 compilation should NOT require any downloading of packages outside of our 3 SVN repos: sword, icu-sword, biblecs. Simply following the instructions at:
http://crosswire.org/sword/develop/biblecs/svn.jsp
to checkout our SVN repository, and then opening the:
biblecs/CBuilder6/swordprj.bpg in BCB6 and choosing Project|Build All Projects
This should produce a working executable. It does for me on a CLEAN system. Please let me know if you CONFIRM that it does not for you.

Thanks for this. I was going to write something like it myself when (if) I finally get it fully working. First, can I say that there's a free package of Builder 6 Personal currently available for download at the Nokia site: http://www.forum.nokia.com/main/0,6566,034-49,00.html
You have to register first on the Nokia site and then with Borland, but it's free. The edition is described as 'a restricted version', but the restrictions don't seem to affect the Sword build.
Can I add that the project group file I started the build with is the one called swordprg.bpg in the BibleCS directory. This one seems to work OK for me (with a bit of tweaking). Also, one of the 'features' of this personal version of Builder 6 is that it needs to start with the .bpg files rather than the .bpr files, according to the documentation.
The TntWare package Wade describes doesn't seem to contain the .hpp files that the Sword compile is asking for, so I'm investigating further. I may need to do a build of TntWare first and I haven't done that yet. That apart, the Sword api library builds OK and the ICU libraries too. That's as far as I've got up to now.
Can I suggest that all of these 'newbie' hints get put in a doc-file on the web site?
