Only if you are statically linking it in or build your own custom package if
that is even possible (in many cases it won't be)

You can not deploy any rebuilt package with a Borland package name. In most
cases the VCL isn't fully included to even allow the rebuilding of all the
packages needed to install your replacement VCL into the IDE. You can only
change the pas file and statically link in the changed code but you normally can
not build new packages and install them in the IDE and in no case can you deploy
your own vcl60.bpl or other package with the name that Borland uses.
