Innovation at its best! I guess necessity IS the mother of invention!

If you had just a small tear in the boot, I wonder if you cleaned up any leaked grease (with a solvent...brake cleaner, denatured alcohol, Goo Gone, whatever) and roughed it up a little (coarse sand paper), then used your section of the inner tube with some tire patch adhesive. Probably wouldn't work, but who knows? Obviously a temporary solution at best, but it's pretty easy...and temporary is all the OP was looking for in the first place.
