It does not. 

The only bison dependency is in the build script for bjam itself, and
even then it shouldn't be using bison unless you have an incomplete
checkout (missing jamgram.c or jamgram.h) AND bison is in the path.

Otherwise, you are using the Makefile in libs/graph/src directly (not
part of the Boost build) or you're building with BBv2, which is not
officially supported yet. The Jamfile.v2 in the boost root should not

build-project libs/graph/build ;

because that Jamfile builds optional graphvis components that require
bison.
