Probably still, yes, because as far as I understand FreeBSD's shared
library naming scheme is not compatible to your policy:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/policies-shlib.html

But this patch is very specific to the ports collection (in order to
meet the strict rules that were set up to maintain a software build system for
12k+ applications and libraries -- for people who are building Boost directly
from source, your naming convention looks good to me.
