Ok, I don't really think that it is, but it certainly presents an awkward situation, no?

I know someone, let's call her Jane, who has a cousin named Bob. Bob has another cousin named Frank on the other side of his family. Hence, Jane and Frank share no blood.

Is it appropriate for Jane and Frank to be engaged in a romantic relationship?

Things to consider:
-Jane and Frank have grown up together and their childhood relationship was akin to that of first cousins.
-They are both in their early 20s.
-They attend many of the same family functions, due to their common relation with Bob.
-Potential fallout should this relationship fail.

No blood relationship = no incest

It will still be awkward though, especially when (if) they break up.

My wife's father married his brother's wife's sister. Of course this stuff is allowed in the south. :) I guess as long as blood isn't mixed.

Is that you, Jane, my love? Heh, Jane is actually my girlfriend's friend. I don't think that there's anything started right now, but it sure is looking that way.

Is it illegal or horribly immoral? No.

But it will sure make those family reunions awkward.

Yeah, I don't think that it incest myself, but I can see things really getting screwed up if it doesn't work out. Also, do you really want to see people that you've slept with at family reunions, blood relatives or not?
