No. Regex, when built with Unicode support, requires ICU for that. Boost doesn't have its own Unicode stuff. (There's something in the vault, though.)
I ask because I was thinking about writing an XML lib for the Boost collection, but that requires specific Unicode string handling, which I don't have time to implement. So if there would be some (at least basic) UTF support (and of course the need for such), I would consider trying to implement the core XML parser (+some core extensions) as a Google Summer Of Code project.
