Yes.
IIRC, this is difficult, and doesn't work on all compilers.
It's not so different from detecting the presence of result_type; hopefully compilers with lambdas and weak decltype are sufficiently sophisticated to handle it.
The fallback could always be predicated on BOOST_MPL_CFG_NO_HAS_XXX_TEMPLATE as well, though I suspect that's defined for all compilers with decltype.
Would you be willing to open a trac ticket and attach a patch?
I can put it on the my TODO list :)
