I forgot to add, the Jamfile contained:

verbatim.inline-file t1_cpp : t1.verbatim ;

However, after reading:

http://boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/builtins/raw.html

I tried:

make ./t1.cpp : t1.verbatim : verbatim.inline-file ;

and got:

/home/evansl/prog_dev/boost-svn/ro/trunk/tools/build/v2/example/customization/bin/gcc-4.1/debug:
   wildcard *.cpp
   -rw-r--r-- 1 evansl evansl 64 Sep  8 09:28 t1.cpp

So, apparently that works.
