Depends how you want to play it, but I'd be tempted to say No. I had a similar dilemma last year and got some good advice. If you tell your boss, and then you don't get offered the job, they could potentially give you a hard time (if they aren't already). If you want to use this as a bargaining tool, then wait until you get an offer in writing. You are then in a much better position to start negotiations. See if you get a good counter offer before deciding whether or not to accept the new post.
