Exactly what I was thinking as I was reading it.
Not that being in the friendzone is the worst thing ever. In contrast to common opinion, you can make your way out. And, in this case, if she gets to know you better, she might like it.
However, there is a difference between being in the friendzone and being so far entrenched that you may as well chop your penis off. Whatever you do ioppolo don't wait on her hand and foot, even if her boyfriend is a complete douchebag. Be friends with her, but maintain some distance at the same time.
Personally I would just tell her I am not particularly comfortable with talking to girls I find attractive about their relationship problems. It's hard to remain impartial when you have a vested interest.
She knows where you stand, you remain a good guy, and you don't have to listen to her complaining. Win-win-win.
That is just me though. I am sure other people have more subtle solutions.

However, trying to maintain distance from her relationship issues is a great idea. You don't want to get into it with a vested interest. You could a) make mistakes in your interactions with her. E.g. Convincing her to break up with him in any way, even if it is subtle. You don't want to be that guy. Or, b) you could get continually frustrated everytime she brings it up and how she may and try and make things work with him.
Be her friend, and spend time with her, but maintain distance from her relationship issues.
