The easiest way I have found to install boost on Mac OS X (Tiger  
1.4.1) has been with darwinports, install docs can be found at:

http://darwinports.org/docs/ch01s03.html

Then "sudo port install boost" will install 1.32 (at present).  I  
have had no problems with the installation and use quite a number of  
the boost libraries.
