Martin,
which version of BDE?

If you did not do too many "native driver" specific things, you can
change the alias to use ODBC instead of the native Interbase topology.

I know many cases where this works very fine.
I can personally confirm this works with ODBC driver 2.00.1.152 on
Firebird 1.5.x servers, and I know some people who changed from native
Interbase to Firebird 2.1 and 2.5 without problems.

Maybe it is worth a try?
Along with each and every ODBC DSN you could use a separate copy of
fbclient.dll.
