With Boost.Build M10, you're out of luck. Well, you can write some bjam code 
which will declare a separate 'install' target for each header directory for 
install, but that's scary. In today's CVS, you should be able to do:

install install-headers : [ glob CommonModules/*/*.h ]

: <location>$(include-locate)
<preserve-path>on
;

Please let me know if this works for you.
