To anyone who is interested:

With the assistance of a huge number of very useful people, I've sorted  
out how to successfully install the boost 1.32 package on Mac Darwin  
with gcc 3.3.  There are two problems to solve:

1. some libraries are made but not usable because of errors like:
        /sw/include/boost/numeric/ublas/vector_expression.hpp:1837: error: due
> 	to a defect in the G++ 3.2 ABI, G++ has assigned the same mangled  
> name to
> 	twodifferent types In file included from  
> /sw/include/boost/numeric/ublas/matrix.hpp:23,
>                   from conftest.cc:100:
> 	/sw/include/boost/numeric/ublas/matrix_expression.hpp:5156: error:  
> due to a
>     defect in the G++ 3.2 ABI, G++ has assigned the same mangled name  
> to two
>     different types
> 	configure:23533: $? = 1
> 	configure: failed program was:
> 	| /* confdefs.h.  */

The solution is to put -fabi-version=0 into your CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS,  
rebuild bjam, and install boost with the rebuilt bjam.

2. Install hangs on xml_grammar.

        The solution is outlined in
        http://lists.boost.org/MailArchives/boost/msg76758.php

        Or include the following:
        <darwin><release><inline>off

Thanks to everyone who helped out.
