Thank you Vladimir! This helped!
I did exactly this:
First I cleaned up my current installed boost (32-bit) build with:
# /usr/local/boost_1_36_0
# make clean
then I removed old files in /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/include

Then configured boost with:
# /usr/local/boost_1_36_0
# ./configure
--with-libraries=date_time,filesystem,iostreams,program_options,serialization,system,thread

And now, instead of the usual way to start building boost:
# Make install
I instead manually run bjam with:
# ./tools/jam/src/bin.macosxx86/bjam  architecture=x86 address-model=64 
--user-config=user-config.jam --prefix=/usr/local --exec-prefix=/usr/local
--libdir=/usr/local/lib --includedir=/usr/local/include --with-date_time
--with-filesystem --with-iostreams --with-program_options
--with-serialization --with-system --with-thread install

Now I have 64-bit versions of the libraries!
I am very happy Vladimir you really saved my day!
