Yes, in the sense that it's pretty much at the top of the TODO list: 
http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/libs/math/doc/sf_and_dist/html/math_toolkit/status/issues.html#math_toolkit.status.issues.feature_requests

I haven't looked into the implementation yet though, or found any test 
values to sanity check against.  If you're in need of it, fancy writing it ?
