The code that's supposed to handle this is in
<boost/config/platform/macos.hpp>. If __MACH__ is defined, it includes
<boost/config/posix_features.hpp>, which defined BOOST_HAS_PTHREADS and
BOOST_HAS_THREADS. This does work properly in the Mac OS X regression test,
as you can see in the log at
<http://boost.sourceforge.net/regression-logs/macosx.log.gz>.

I wonder what's different when you build with jam?
