I got this last night as well, and now I get:

cvs update: [11:54:03] waiting for martin_wille's lock in 
/cvsroot/boost/boost/tools/build/v2/test/m1-03

CVS has now thwarted my last four attempts to check out.  I wonder if 
"subversion" has been considered as an alternative?  IMHO it is well 
worth playing with.  I have used it with excellent results, the 
subversion team has preserved the interface of CVS and fixed many issues 
that I had come to accept as the facts of life (takes forever to 
update/diff, can't version directory structure, lock problems...)  Maybe 
I'm the only one feeling CVS pain, but if there were interest I could 
easily import boost into a publicly availably subversion repository for 
people to play with.
