Then, you should be able to run Boost regression tests are documented here:

  https://zigzag.cs.msu.su/boost.build/wiki/BoostRegressionsV2

by putting the following to your user-config.jam:

  using darwin : 4.0 : :
         <compileflags>"-arch ppc64" <linkflags>"-arch ppc64" ;

  using python : ........ ;
