Boost.Test does not have a mock facility built in.

You can use other mock frameworks like Google Mock - see:
http://code.google.com/p/googlemock/wiki/ForDummies#Using_Google_Mock_with_Any_Testing_Framework

I am not necessarily advocating google mock, just pointing out the

Stackoverflow has more opinions on this very question in various posts.
