I haven't tested it with either fontspec or the /B specifier, but  
Kaffeesatz <http://www.yanone.de/typedesign/kaffeesatz/> is one of  
these fonts available in several degrees of "boldness" -- thin,  
light, regular and bold. I must confess my German isn't good enough  
for understanding everything there, and I haven't taken the time to  
go through it with a bilingual dictionary.
