unfortunately i do not know any compiler which already implements c++0x atomics, so if your platform is supported by boost.atomic, it is probably the best solution until real c++0x atomics are widely available ...
FYI: My commercial just::thread implementation of C++0x threads provides C++0x atomics. It is available for gcc 4.5.2/mingw, Visual Studio 2005 and later, gcc 4.3/4.4/4.5/4.6 on x86 Linux and MacPorts gcc 4.3/4.4/4.5 for 32-bit x86 MacOSX.
