But I can do it with Boost::Bind: std::sort(vec.begin(), vec.end(), boost::bind(std::less<int>(), *_1, *_2));

This looks new to me. What exactly does this do? Sort the container of pointers by applying std::less to the pointees?

Boost::Bind's solution is much better that yours, because it constists indirector_unary, indirector_binary, indirector_ternary and so on.
