No.

Boost IIRC used to be slotted, but not anymore. Like any other package,
you get one and only one version at a time.

So don't install boost-1.52 and take it out of world if you have it

Portage will install boost-1.49.0-r2 for you and maintain the updates
for you. You do not have to fiddle with it.
