Freely available, yes. In source code. Prepackaged in linux distributions, no. We are usually conservative in our version requirements to keep it relatively simple for others to build gnucash without also having to build its dependencies. Current master will not ship for some time to come. By then boost 1.56 is probably pretty common. However requiring it now already however will make it more difficult for others to jump in.
