Any modifications required to the Blackberry before being taken into classified areas - such as removal/destruction of microphones and/or any cameras?

I can't imagine, "Just power it off" as a security mechanism, and can only imagine that compliance is somewhat less than 100%.

Also - I can imagine there are different levels of classification, and that the Secretary of State may be in places where the rules might be somewhat more strict.

The blackberries are provided by the national lab, so not personal ones. Though you would likely also be able to check personal emails also. For laptops they do remove cameras / microphones as a policy. I wouldn't be surprised if a camera was disabled (obviously not a microphone for a phone) but I'm not sure.
