What exactly are you trying to compile? This:
http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/geometry/boost/geometry/index/
or some older revision?

Boost.Geometry always supported c++03, in particular the R-tree. The 
oldest version of MSVC the library is tested against is 8.0 (2005). 
Features from newer standards may be conditionally enabled though. The 
variadic templates are guarded with Boost.Config macros checks. R-tree 
works with msvc2010. What exactly is the compiler complaining about?

Back then the R-tree wasn't released yet and as you noticed existed only 
in the sandbox. Watching the dates on GitHub the SVN revision 
corresponding to the state of the R-tree when the 1.49 was released is 
[SVN r75771]. But I don't remember if the implementation was mature 
enough. It was officially released with 1.54 so I'd be careful if I were 
you.

Well, there was a preliminary version of the R-tree developed during 
GSoC2008 in Boost.Geometry extensions, in develop branch. It's slower 
and has slightly different interface, much more limited, but maybe it'd 
be enough for you. This is the state of this r-tree implementation 
corresponding to Boost 1.49:
https://github.com/boostorg/geometry/tree/2bcbf859d06a89766e3e0e09f96648f4c0c0c295/include/boost/geometry/extensions/index/rtree

AFAIU using Boost 1.54 is not an option but how about using 
Boost.Geometry from 1.54 with Boost 1.49? I don't know if that would 
work though.
