I don't know about official support, but I created one a while ago and 
did some cleanup on it and put it up on GitHub at 
https://github.com/tee3/boost-build-nvcc.  It's working for me in 
admittedly simple use cases.  I've only used it with CUDA 9, so it might 
be lacking with older versions of nvcc.

I would love to help get this into Boost.Build, but I doubt it is 
production quality at this point.  I am not a CUDA expert and I don't 
know if this toolset supports everything required.  It certainly needs 
to support some of the newer (and awesome) features in the latest 
Boost.Build like cxxstd.
