I believe rcBot has started to conduct / compose a bot for HL2.

Hurricane Bot is another bot for HL2 (HL2DM)

How does one go about making a bot for cs1.6? The menu options in the sdk menu do not allow for a cs mod, and files in the cstrike directory aren't found in the .sln file.

most of the bots here work under CS 1.6. If you would like to make one yourself, check out the HPB bot source code and its README file.

so there aren't really any fully working source bots right?

What do you mean? Hurricane Bot and RCBots works in HL2DM

Or do you mean botsupport in the SDK?

hurricane bot also still lacks some important information which cannot be received yet from the engine. I guess it's the same problem like when the sdk came out, the folks at valve just dont like us

Yes, Valve really don't like you bot-coders! It's a shame...as you are so nice people

At least they're still giving away source-code, which is rare these times.
And using Metamod Source I'd think you could hack your way into a lot of stuff. Probably not with as general functionality as with the old SDK but nevertheless...you could if you wanted to.
Speaking of hacking into it, has anybody else noticed the disappearance of the BotController in TF2 ? Don't know if it's back again with the new beta sdk for orange box but if it isn't this could mean either a revamped shiny new bot interface or totally removed bot support.
