Your strategy of getting started by just including some headers is a good one - that's how I got started with boost. Unfortunately it won't get you access to the serialization library.
One note: Assuming you decide to bite the bullet and do the build of boost on your system, remember it's generally a one time thing. That is, once you have the libraries and dlls built you VS projects just include headers and the library directory.
It's a one time thing for every release you wish to use and there's a possibility of needing patches between releases.
And it is simple to setup a batch script on Windows that syncs to the latest SVN (I am using trunk), and build with my custom parameters. Just click it, and go back to other stuff while it churns in the background.
