The following works for me. I had to disambiguate format::operator% because 
it's a template, though, it couldn't compile as is. It would've been nice if 
format provided operator() as an alias so it could be bound.

#include <iostream>
#include <boost/format.hpp>
#include <boost/bind.hpp>
#include <boost/signal.hpp>

void f( std::string str )
{
    std::cout << str << std::endl;
}

int main()
{
    using namespace boost;

    signal< void( std::string ) > target;

    target.connect( &f );

    format& (format::*pmf)( int const & ) = &format::operator%;

    signal< void( int ) > source;

    source.connect(

        bind( ref( target ),
            bind( &format::str,
                bind( pmf, format( "the value is %1%" ), _1 )
            )
        )

    );

    source( 12345 );
}
