On a new enough Mac OS X version (I believe 10.5 is the first one), you 
should only need to add "using mpi ;" to your user-config.jam and do not 
need to install any additional software.  If you could also try "using 
expat ;", that would also be nice; I believe that is installed by default 
as well.  Thank you for running these tests.
