A few possibilities...

1. You can disable it for only the regex library if you are willing to 
change the boost-root/libs/regex/build/Jamfile. You will need to add:

        <tru64cxx65><*><optimization>off

To the requirements section of template-s in that file.

2. You can do it on the command line, but this would apply to all 
libraries with: bjam "-sBUILD=<optimization>off debug release" etc...

And possibly the most flexible options..

3. Add special variants for your use into the boost-root/Jamrules and 
build those variants instead of the "debug" "release" defaults. For 
example you might add:

        variant bss-debug : debug :
                <tru64cxx65><optimization>off
                ;
        variant bss-release : release :
                <true64cxx65><optimization>off
                ;

And then build with: bjam "-sBUILD=bss-debug bss-release"
