Why would you want this? "../build" is taken relatively to file where it's 
used (Jamroot) already. If you really want this, you can do:

path-constant HERE : . ;
project yours : build-dir $(HERE)/../build ;

Maybe
http://boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/advanced/builtins/targets.html#bbv2.builtins.stage

If that's not enough, Boost's top-level Jamfile can serve as example.

install dist : whatever : <variant>debug:<location>debug
<variant>release:<location>release
;

This won't handle differences in other build properties, though.
