I'm tired of being cold and wet, so I'm thinking of a drysuit. Currently, I have a jacket style BC. Can this be used with a drysuit, or will I have to purchase a new one of those also?
 
You should be fine.

1: Make sure the BC has enough lift. Drysuits usually require a bit more weight.

2: Make sure the drysuit inflator is not obstructed by some chest strap.
 
I could not use my jacket with a drysuit as it was too small for the added bulk. I had a real tough time getting it off, althought it fit very well when using a light or heavy wetsuit.

As JeffG said, you may need more weight with the drysuit and should make sure the BC is large enough.

Good luck diving dry
