Please try something along this lines

project test:
: requirements
<use>/boost/signals
                
<library>/boost/signals
: usage-requirements 
<use>/boost/signals
  
;

local BOOST_ROOT = [ modules.peek : BOOST_ROOT ] ;

use-project /boost/signals : $(BOOST_ROOT)/libs/signals/build ;

Your (toplevel-)Jamfile is missing <use> directives for boost.
Please note that querying BOOST_ROOT might be broken.

When you get bjam to build boost, then yes.
At least it works for me ;-)

<use> is your friend.

works here.
