Let's look at some examples:

   // example 1: tr1 directory lives in boost
   #include <boost/tr1/regex.hpp>

   // example 2: tr1 directory lives in boost-root
   #include <tr1/regex.hpp>

   // example 3: tr1 directory lives in boost-root/libs and
   // user doesn't wish to modify compiler's include search paths
   #include <libs/tr1/regex.hpp>

   // example 4: tr1 directory lives in boost-root/libs and
   // user modifies compiler's include search paths to search
   // boost-root/libs
   #include <tr1/regex.hpp>

I like example 1 the best. Clear to the reader. Easy for the user. Very 
similar to how other boost supplied headers are treated. Doesn't foul up 
boost tools which search the boost directory for header files.
