  It should be possible.  The Jamroot
would need to contain at least this
(possibly more, depending on what the
date_time Jamfiles use):

use-project boost : path/to/boost ;
path-constant BOOST_ROOT : path/to/boost ;
project : requirements
  <include>path/to/date_time/include&&<include>path/to/boost
  <implicit-dependency>/boost//headers
;

That's the most reliable, since date_time is meant
to be used as part of Boost.
