I think it should be possible to replace BOOST_ROOT/boost/geometry 
content with the 1.56 one (if that's what you'd like to do), plus maybe 
BOOST_ROOT/boost/geometry.hpp however this should be unchanged. Picking 
some specific headers may be hard since they may be not compatible with 
the rest of the older code. Furthermore, have in mind that such 
workarounds aren't tested and therefore not officially supported. So we 
can't guarantee that everything should work, all libraries play well 
with each other, etc. To test your configuration you could also replace 
the content of BOOST_ROOT/libs/geometry and run the tests.

 From BOOST_ROOT run bootstrap.sh or bootstrap.bat to build b2/bjam and 
then run:

b2 libs/geometry/test

or since you're pasing some specific compiler flags and also explicitly 
specify the compiler:

b2 libs/geometry/test cxxflags="-std=c++11" toolset=gcc

and if you wanted to test the rtree then also:

b2 libs/geometry/index/test

> Or do you have some dependencies?

AFAIR nothing new, even less (I think Boost.TypeOf dependency was 
dropped in the includes). Well, Boost.Container deendency was added in 
non-index parts of the library, previously only the rtree depended on 
it. So this shouldn't be a problem.
