You supposedly think of TopoDS_Edge, don't you ? Use BRep_Tool::Curve() which will return an underlying 3D curve.
You might want to read more about edges in my recent post on topology and geometry connections - http://opencascade.blogspot.com/2009/02/topology-and-geometry-in-open-ca...

Hope this helps.
