Any chance?

It looks like no utility out there can write BSB/KAP files. Many can read.

Annoying.

I have some wonderful paper marine charts and could make a perfect raster
scan (TIFF) out of them. Then would need a calibrating utility (a là
OziExplorer) that can output to BSB format, once datum, mag. dev, etc is
entered.

Are you talking about charts for U.S. waters? Those are all already
available as free downloads. As are the S-57 Vector charts.

Download and install the trial version of Rosepoint Software's Coastal
Explorer and it will go on line and download all those chart for you:

Coastal Explorer is packaged with some additional bells and whistles and
sold as Maptech's Chart navigator Pro:
