Justin,

Assuming you're not afraid of self compiling and some tiny source code 
modification...

GDAL has code for write support for BSB, but this is disabled in standard 
builds because of a patent claim on write support.

Some background on this in GDAL's frmts/bsb/bsb_read.c 

If you think you're fine with that, it's nevertheless possible to enable write 
support by uncommenting the //#define BSB_CREATE line at beginning of 
frmts/bsb/bsbdataset.cpp and re-compiling.

Note: you need to use the latest checkout of GDAL trunk since I've just tried 
the above and fixed a couple compilation issues. It may also be not completely 
functional, being disabled by default and little used.

There's also http://libbsb.sourceforge.net/ that might perhaps be used. Not 
sure if it handles georeferencing however.
