I think boost::function<void()> may be exactly what you want. The usage
would be to boost::bind() your function with all the desired argument
values: I'm assuming you already know these before you decide whether the
resource is ready to service the function call. Then you can simply call the
resulting object with no additional arguments. Everything it needs is
already bound.

Then it's easy to decide whether to call it immediately, or put it in a
std::queue< boost::function<void()> >.
