You need a short config program that only compiles and links when OpenCL 
is available, see for example: 
https://github.com/boostorg/multiprecision/blob/master/config/Jamfile.v2

Then lets say the config target is called "has_opencl" you would add:

[ check-target-builds ../config//has_opencl : : <build>no ]

To the requirements for the tests that need this.

HTH, John.
