There is support for a make rule in BBv2, so you could use that :). I am not sure how it is used, not having used it myself, but the documentation (http://www.boost.org/boost-build2) should help.

If that doesn't work, you can create a custom Jam rule/action (again, see the documentation for details) that would do this.
