Yes, see: http://blogs.sun.com/sga/entry/how_to_build_boost_1
and note that workaround mentioned there are not longer necessary.

Speaking about versions mentioned in the subject of your email --
I actually don't know for sure, but I think sun 5.8 is being regularly
tested on Boost, with good results.

I think "good results" would be a massive overstatement for the Sun C++ 5.8 compiler results.

See the "Sandia-sun" columns on http://beta.boost.org/development/tests/trunk/developer/summary.html. Many, many libraries are listed as "broken".
