Well enabling ICU (which I would control with the unicode USE flag) allows for 
greater unicode support in sword for things like transliteration and such.

Perl is just for a set of perl bindings that allow a perl script writer to 
access sword modules and things. Basically it's just a perl module. You might 
could make a separate ebuild for it following the model in some of the 
ebuilds in dev-perl

All I know is that --disable-debug is what the sword developers have been 
telling people to use to resolve compiling issues with gcc3.2.

bt1.2.2 is bt1.2.1 only gcc3.2 friendly. It's in cvs under it's own branch. 
Bibletime 1.3pre (the HEAD branch) is made with sword-cvs in mind. Sword 
1.5.5 or whatever they call the next big release will have new namespace 
thingy's that bt1.3 will be taking advantage of.
