When I try to emerge boost with icc in my USE, I get the following output: bash-2.05b# emerge boost Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) dev-libs/boost-1.31.0 to / >>> md5 src_uri ;-) boost_1_31_0.tar.bz2 >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking boost_1_31_0.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/boost-1.31.0/work >>> Source unpacked. icc ### ### Using 'intel-linux' toolset. ### rm -rf bootstrap.intel-linux mkdir bootstrap.intel-linux icc -o bootstrap.intel-linux/jam0 command.c compile.c execnt.c execunix.c execvms.c expand.c filent.c fileos2.c fileunix.c filevms.c glob.c hash.c hdrmacro.c headers.c jam.c jambase.c jamgram.c lists.c make.c make1.c newstr.c option.c parse.c pathunix.c pathvms.c regexp.c rules.c scan.c search.c subst.c timestamp.c variable.c modules.c strings.c filesys.c builtins.c pwd.c class.c native.c modules/set.c modules/path.c modules/regex.c modules/property-set.c modules/sequence.c Error: A license for CCompL could not be obtained (-1,359,2).

Sounds like you simply don't have an icc license installed. (Have you used icc in the past?) Read the einfo at the end of the icc merge (or just read the end of /usr/portage/dev-lang/icc/icc-*.ebuild) for information on obtaining a license.
