Yes, this should be a working workaround. It basically disables parsing of the problematic boost headers by automoc by defining their include guards. I've already implemented this workaround in fatrat[1] and luxrender[2]. The only difference between how I used this workaround and how it's used in fedora is that I'm explicitly setting these parameters while compiling something using automoc, while the fedora makes them default for every automoc run (so they don't need to be set explicitly).
