What functionality are you looking for exactly?  There is a review in
process for the lock-free data structures library, which includes a
lock-free fifo.  Otherwise, I think your best bet is to wrap accesses
to your std::queue with locks on a boost::mutex.  If you want a
priority_queue, something like the latter is probably your only
option.
