I don't think so, the macro is actually defined, and the
examples include a comment on where to find more info
on BOOST_MULTI_INDEX_MEMBER:

/* see Compiler specifics: Use of member_offset for info on
 * BOOST_MULTI_INDEX_MEMBER
 */

(that is, 
http://boost.org/libs/multi_index/doc/compiler_specifics.html#member_of
fset )

Note that this macro is useful only for compilers having
the BOOST_NO_POINTER_TO_MEMBER_TEMPLATE_PARAMETERS defect, and
Sun C++ 5.8 is not among these.
