What makes you think it "should be possible"? The configure script is 
just a thin shell around the bjam commands. And by thin I mean it does 
not support all, or even many, of the build options possible when using 
bjam directly. Although technically you could setenv all the above 
variables James mentions, and then run configure+make.
