I've been using boost in a mixed c++/cli just fine for quite some time. 
The only problem I had was the pool library. It's been a while, but I 
believe just merely including the header refused to link. I didn't 
actually need it in that project, so I never bothered to investigate why 
or if there was a workaround.

Otherwise I use boost regularly without problems.
