Sorry, I was just throwing out the idea (don't even know if a indirect 
conditional requirement solution is viable, I only wanted to point you in 
that direction). This attempt might not be much better as it's right past 
midnight here now and I don't have Boost.Build available from this machine:

exe myexe
 : # requirements
main.cpp
<conditional>@decorated-boost-libs
;

constant boost-libs : regex thread ;
constant boost-version : 1.35 ;

rule decorated-boost-libs ( properties * )
{
    local decorated-libs ;
    local toolset = [ regex.find <toolset>(\S+) : properties ] ; # Surely 
invalid statement, but you'll get the idea
    for local l in $(boost-libs)
    {
        # ... decorate lib name and add to decorated-libs as 
<find-library>"decorated_name"
    }

    return $(decorated-libs) ;
}
