Many here have moved projects from Kylix to FPC and Lazarus/fpGUI/MSEgui etc. There is no "magic wand" to make it just work automatically. Unfortunately you will have to fix many things manually in your projects.

dbExpress could be replaced with SqlDB (comes as part of FPC) or Zeos etc. I don't know the other component package you mentioned, but if you have the source code to it, you could try and port. Otherwise you will have to try and find a replacement or rewrite that part of your project.

ESBPCS is one of those huge commercial component packages. They currently don't seem to have lazarus support, so this is going to be hard, unless he is going to target win32/64 only.
