Probably not. \boldsymbol (as well as \boldmath) depend on font mapping 
definitions of the five extra fonts, as in this example for Lucida:

\definefontsynonym [ExtraMathRoman]          [LucidaBright-Demi]
\definefontsynonym [ExtraMathExtension]      [LucidaNewMath-Extension]
\definefontsynonym [ExtraMathItalic]        
[LucidaNewMath-AltDemiItalic]
\definefontsynonym [ExtraMathSymbol]         [LucidaNewMath-Symbol-Demi]
\definefontsynonym [ExtraMathAlpha]          [LucidaNewMath-Arrows-Demi]

For Computer Modern, it would be something like this (untested):

\definefontsynonym [ExtraMathRoman]          [cmbx10]
\definefontsynonym [ExtraMathExtension]      [cmex10]
\definefontsynonym [ExtraMathItalic]         [cmmib10]
\definefontsynonym [ExtraMathSymbol]         [cmbsy10]
\definefontsynonym [ExtraMathAlpha]          [msam10]

If you add these commands to the top of your input file, \boldsymbol
*should* work
