What about interface like this:

BOOST_TEST_DECORATORS(
+ decorator::tolerance(1e-6)
)
BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE( foo )
{
    BOOST_TEST( foo == 1.5 );
}

BOOST_TEST_DECORATORS(
+ decorator::percent_tolerance(1e-5)
)
BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE(s1)

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE( foo )
{
    BOOST_TEST( foo == 1.5 );
}

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE_END

Similar functionality can be implemented using fixture decorator, which already
exists.
