For what it's worth, here is an *unsupported* *alpha* installer for  
Boost 1.34.0 on Mac OS X that I just rolled with CMake's packaging  
facilities:

        http://www.generic-programming.org/~dgregor/Boost-1.34.0-Darwin.dmg

It doesn't have the HTML documentation, but it installs headers and  
universal library binaries.
