I have had some luck recently with

./bootstrap.sh --prefix=<wherever you want to headers> --libdir<where you want the libs> --with-libraries=python
./bjam address-model=32_64 architecture=x86 variant=release link=shared install

I have been trying to get PyCUDA or PyOpenCL working for the longest time but....they require boost to be working which has been a problem.
Once I did get boost installed, I found out that no matter what I try and specify it links against the system Python libraries.  PyOpenCL worked fine 
at that point...with the system Python, unfortunately i REALLY want to use the Enthought python distribution and I cant seem to convince the boost
libraries to link those.  

this is a good mac os x boost install page
