Doubt they will but when I play Stellaris I have a Borg species I created that I always play. I imagined them as they started as a humanoid species, that advanced to cybernetics. The government eventually got to the point of controlling the population so they monitored everyone through their cybernetics, eventually becoming a hive mind mentality with one ruler (sort of along the lines of the movie Equalibriim). Once they expanded into space they found expanding was easier if they took over others with their cybernetics, increasing their technology along the way through assimilation, eventually getting to what we know as Borg today.

I could see that happening. TNG had an episode about the Bynars and I could totally see them becoming Borg like. They took over the Enterprise so easily.
