You can do it using both manual and automated registration faculties. Here 
is one example using auto-registration:

unit_test_example_04.cpp:

#define BOOST_TEST_MODULE Unit_test_example_04
#include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp>

//____________________________________________________________________________//

// automatically registered test cases could be organized in test suites
BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE( my_suite1 );

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE( my_test1 )
{
    BOOST_CHECK( 2 == 1 );
}

//____________________________________________________________________________//

// this test case belongs to suite1 test suite
BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE( my_test2 )
{
    int i = 0;

    BOOST_CHECK_EQUAL( i, 2 );

    BOOST_CHECK_EQUAL( i, 0 );
}

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE_END();

//____________________________________________________________________________//

// this test case belongs to master test suite
BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE( my_test3 )
{
    int i = 0;

    BOOST_CHECK_EQUAL( i, 0 );
}

//____________________________________________________________________________//

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE( my_suite2 );

// this test case belongs to suite2 test suite
BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE( my_test4 )
{
    int i = 0;

    BOOST_CHECK_EQUAL( i, 1 );
}

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE_END();

//____________________________________________________________________________//

// EOF

If you need you can have hierarchy of any depth.
