As stated on https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Exceptions_2 ,
there is no need to explicitly set a dependency on gcc-c++ . And, if we have a
look at the specification file of gcc (generating the gcc-c++ sub-package:
http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/gcc/F-11/gcc.spec?revision=1.49&view=markup),
we see that the gcc-c++ gets an explicit dependency on libstdc++-devel package:
 %package c++
 Summary: C++ support for GCC
 Group: Development/Languages
 Requires: gcc = %{version}-%{release}
 Requires: libstdc++ = %{version}-%{release}
 Requires: libstdc++-devel = %{version}-%{release}

And that seems normal to me, as anyone developing in C++ would like to be able
to use the STL (and, hence, the STL header files).

So, to recap, I would just list boost-devel within the 'Requires:' dependency,
and add the result of that discussion within the Wiki (for example by adding an
"Exception" sub-section to
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Explicit_Requires, but I
have not the right to alter that page).
