I hope you don't use it in real production code. If you do you will
get the first two arguments backwards. I don't know perl but here
is a sed argument that will do what you want:
s/bcopy[ ]*(\([^,]*\),*\([^,]*\), *\([^)]*\))/memcpy(\2, \1, \3)/g
[the first square brackets surround a space and a tab]
Note that it deals with the style where the open paren is separated by
white space from the function name.
I have removed comp.unix.bsd and comp.unix.sys5.r3 from the followups
and added comp.unix.programmer as it seems to make more sense.
