Sort of.  Google only allows a *very* limited subset of Boost.  Google's 
C++ style guide is pretty idiosyncratic--not allowing exceptions, 
non-const reference parameters, and discouraging template heavy 
functional or meta-programming.  That makes much of Boost out of bounds, 
at least at this time.
