I think it's possible, the guidelines aren't entirely clear:

https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/Guidelines/Requirements#Portability

IMO it would be harmful to forbid it, since we should encourage
innovative use of new features, but the library's rational would have
to include a convincing justification. A possible example might be an
allocator that only works with C++0x allocator_traits.
