Yes, definitely.

We talked about this in the past, and it looks like sometime soon we will 
have the resources to do just that (courtesy of Andrew Lumsdaine).

The possibility is real enough that it might be worthwhile for someone to 
figure out just how such a Boost compile farm would work.  There would be 
Windows and Unix boxes available, with an array of compilers to suit. Any 
takers?
