If you plan on distributing your application I would also recommend  
that you build static libraries which will avoid the eventual use of  
"install_name_tool" and all the "fun" that brings with it.

Here is the command that I use to build boost:

bjam toolset=darwin --with-test --with-filesystem --with- 
program_options --with-iostreams --with-thread variant=release,debug  
threading=multi link=static runtime-link=shared --prefix=/Users/Shared/ 
Toolkits/boost-1_36/ architecture=combined install

Note that I am only asking for certain libraries to be installed. If  
you are using the latest boost and boost.build then you can also add  
the --address-model=32_64 to create Quad binaries if you need/want  
those.

In my bjam from above I would set BOOST_ROOT=/Users/Shared/Toolkits/ 
boost-1_36
