We use VTK 4.2 and 4.4 with BCB6.  It is easy. Download cmake (the link 
is on the vtk website).  Run cmaake and point the source and output 
directory to the root of the extracted VTK source.  Select borland 
makefiles as the desired output.  I'd change the 'CMAKE_BULD_TYPE' to 
'Release' as unless you really want to debug VTK code, there's no point 
having the slower performance.  CMake will then generate the makefiles 
for you.

Then open a dos prompt window and change to the extracted VTK directoy 
and type

make

And this will build the libs in to a folder called 'bin' for you.

You then need to manually link with the libs in your application.
