It was not, I think. The commit that added this functionality is:

        r50172 | vladimir_prus | 2008-12-07 11:25:41 +0300 (Sun, 07 Dec 2008) | 4 lines

        Support for 32+64 fat binaries on Darwin.

        Fixes #1679.

So I suspect it did not even make it into 1.38. OTOH, you can grab Boost.Build
from trunk, or from nightly builds at http://boost.org/boost-build2 and replace
the copy in your 1.36 tree.

Note that the right way to request 32+64 binaries is via:

        architecture=x86 address-model=32_64

you can also use:

        architecture=ppc address-model=32_64

or

        architecture=combined address-model=32_64
