For STLPORT I used:
STLport-5.2.1>set include=...\STLport\STLport-5.2.1\stlport;%include%
STLport-5.2.1>configure msvc8 -p winxp -x --without-thread
STLport-5.2.1\build\lib>nmake clean install

And then for Boost, edited boost_1_39_0\tools\build\v2\user-config.jam to
# -------------------
# MSVC configuration.
# -------------------
# Configure specific msvc version (searched for in standard locations and
PATH).
using msvc : 8.0 ;
# ----------------------
# STLPort configuration.
# ----------------------
using stlport : : ...\STLport\STLport-5.2.1\stlport
...\STLport\STLport-5.2.1\lib\vc8 ;

and built with
boost_1_39_0>set include=...\STLport\STLport-5.2.1\stlport;%include%
boost_1_39_0> ..\bjam --toolset=msvc stdlib=stlport
"stdlib:stlport-iostream=on" --with-filesystem --with-thread
--with-date_time
