I think this is a problem with mis-matched /Zc:wchar_t options - Boost is
normally built with that flag on, while STLPort is normally built with it
off.  Depending on how you intend to build your own code, either rebuild
STLPort with /Zc:wchar_t or use:

bjam -sTOOLS=vc7.1-stlport -sBUILD="<native-wchar_t>off"

In fact this is the default setting, and having double checked it works for
me without having to mess with the BUILD variable, have you changed
something else somewhere?  I can reproduce the makefile problem though, I'll
get that fixed.
