I've run into this problem and it is a bit of a pain. I initially installed
boost via MacPorts which I have found the easiest way to keep things
working and up to date.

https://www.macports.org/install.php

I'm using Xcode 4.6.1.

I use CMake to generate my xcodeproj, but hopefully some of this should
still apply.

Then, to resolve some of these other issues with targets but I believe I
needed to change some of the build settings on the xcodeproj. If you go to
the little folder icon aka Project Navigator > Project Build settings (on
the right) > Architectures + Base SDK + Supported Platforms + Valid
Architecture. I have found that messing with some of those settings gets
things to work again.

The other thing I may have done is regenerated my Xcode project in CMake
because the generated targets were out of date, though that may or may not
be helpful to you.

I'm sorry I don't have a more straightforward answer, but I never actually
wrote the steps down and I figure that some suggestions are better than
none and may lead you in the right direction.

Cheers!
