It does not. This is a case of something affecting what a power does, rather than "inherent" attributes of the power itself. (End cost isn't something a power does, it's something a power has.)
Even if PB could affect Barrier, by convention PB never affects things that mix +resist. (It does not boost the +def from cold shields, Shadow Fall or Steamy Mist, nor do PB-like effects boost heals that grant Toxic resistance.) However, we can be quite sure that even if Barrier was only +def, PB would not affect it, because PB does not affect the heal in Rebirth (which grants no resistance) or the end boost granted by Ageless, even though PB boosts both +heal and +end.
I have tested the above, as I have a character with PB who has all those Destinies.

Lucks shouldn't affect Barrier, because they give +def, not a power boost effect. Power Boost might affect Barrier, though... not sure on that one.
