What I typed (in the libs/numeric/bindings/atlas directory) to test your reported porting of ublas_symm2 was
bjam define=BOOST_NUMERIC_BINDINGS_LAPACK_CLAPACK define=BOOST_NUMERIC_BINDINGS_BLAS_CBLAS ublas_symm2
This worked, but this is just me cheating again. What you are interested in is probably "svn diff numeric-bindings.jam":

This "official" way is described under
http://www.boost.org/doc/tools/build/doc/html/bbv2/tasks/libraries.html
slightly edited quote:
Library targets are created using the lib rule, which follows the common syntax (http://www.boost.org/doc/tools/build/doc/html/bbv2/overview/targets.html#bbv2.main-target-rule-syntax):
rule rule-name (
main-target-name :
sources + :
requirements * :
default-build * :
usage-requirements * )
So in the file "libs/numeric/bindings/numeric_bindings.jam" the library target "cblas_lib" needs the usage-requirement "<define>BOOST_NUMERIC_BINDINGS_BLAS_CBLAS" and the library target "lapack_atlas_lib" needs the usage-requirement
"<define>BOOST_NUMERIC_BINDINGS_LAPACK_CLAPACK".
This is exactly what the above modifications do.
