Does boost build support parallel builds distributed across multiple linux machines on a grid such as Sun Grid or LSF?

Not directly.. Although distributed builds have been done in the past with tools like distcc. 

If so, what is the best way to accomplish this goal? Seems hard to find any docs that describe this requested behavior. 

Not sure what the best way is.. But the one I know of is to write a wrapper script for the toolset command that takes care of the distribution, i.e. an equivalent to distcc. And then you configure the toolset but point it at. For example user-config.jam:

using gcc : : distcc ;

HTH.
