If I were you, I would just create an "alias" at top-level Jamfile which would 
have all "stage" target in individual projects as sources. Is there a problem 
with that approach?

In theory, you should be able to use <dependency> on stage, but right now it 
produces an error. Now that I've understood what you're trying to do, I'll 
look at that error in detail.
