No.
From the online rulings and errata:
"Any player (not just "you") can modify the bleed after the Boon, subject to
the normal rules. Major Boon cannot be played by the controller of the
acting minion." [RTR 19980707]
No. You cannot play Major Boon if you control the acting minion.
(And you cannot play out-of-turn masters on your own turn, anyhow).

major boon being an out of turn, you cannot play it during your turn =)
tip : deflect a bleed against you on your prey and then use major boon to
screw both prey and predator ;)

Well, if you bleed with a Malkavian with a Madness Network in play this gets
around the "your turn" part (but not the control of the acting minion).
BTW: Speaking of Madness Network, "After another Methuselah has finished all of
his or her minion phase actions, any untapped Malkavian can take an action (go
clockwise if two or more attempt to take actions)." So this occurs after a
Methusaleh's minion phase actions but is it still during that Methusaleh's
minion phase? If Methusaleh A has finished his/her actions, and Methusaleh B's
Malkavian decides to act, what happens if A wants to burn Temptation counters
to take control of the acting vampire during the action? Thanks!

Actions
* If the Methuselah loses control of the acting minion before the action is
successful, then the action ends. [RTR 30-JUN-1997]
I have a fond memory of this card. I played it on my
grand-predator early in a six-player game. Later, my predator was
ousted. When grannie came after me, it was late in the game. She had
forgotten about the Major Boon. She tried to bleed me, I let it
through, she pumped up the bleed, and then I told her to pay for it
and that ousted her. I didn't get the six for ousting her, but it was
funny.
