The ability triggers, but you can't use these lands to activate Borborygmos Enraged's ability

The ability triggers when Borborygmos Enraged deals combat damage, even if at the same time it's dealt lethal damage itself. State-based actions see lethal damage marked on it and destroy it, causing it to go into your graveyard. The ability is then put on the stack and you get priority, but since Borborygmos Enraged isn't on the battlefield anymore, you can't activate it's ability.

If nothing else happens, the triggered ability will resolve and possibly reveal an amount of lands you may put into your hand.
