1. Configure your toolset/sdk to create an iPhoneOS specific darwin 
toolset version. You do this by adding something like this to your 
user-config.jam or site-config.jam:

using darwin : 4.0.1~iphone
   : 
/Developer/Xcode-3.1/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin/g++ 
-arch arm
   : <striper>
   : <architecture>arm <target-os>iphone <macosx-version>iphone-2.0
   ;
using darwin : 4.0.1~iphonesim
   : 
/Developer/Xcode-$(xcode)/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/usr/bin/g++
   : <striper>
   : <architecture>x86 <target-os>iphone <macosx-version>iphonesim-2.0
   ;

Adjusting paths to where you installed the SDK of course.

2. Build by specifying the full variant to build that matches the setup. 
For example:

   bjam toolset=darwin architecture=arm target-os=iphone 
macosx-version=iphone-2.0

And for the simulator:

   bjam toolset=darwin architecture=x86 target-os=iphone 
macosx-version=iphonesim-2.0

Note, I haven't made changes for the newer 2.1 or 2.2 versions so BBv2 
doesn't recognize those version as options. I'll get to doing that soon, 
though. Just been busy with console development :-\
