You should ask Jason. I believe the data-access components
can be used (in an IBO beta version), but none of the GUI
components.

It's not a matter of the components, but more of available
drivers. I have developed a working dbExpress driver for
Kylix.

There are other connectivity sets that support Kylix, I believe
FIBPlus does.
