It sounds like you have a copy of the Sandbox SVN already, so cd into 
sandbox/math_toolkit/libs/math/test then set the environment variable BOOST 
to point to the root directory of Boost-1.34 (depending how much of the 
sandbox you checked out, you may need to set BOOST_ROOT as well or instead). 
Then:

bjam mytoolset 2>&1 | tee toolkit.log

where "mytoolkit" is the name of the bjam toolset for that 
compiler/platform.  Not sure if you need to use "darwin" or "gcc" on that 
platform these days: try "darwin" first and then fall back to gcc if that 
doesn't work anymore.

Then step back for a long wait :-)

The test log will likely be quite large, so I suggest we take this off-list 
rather than clog up everyones inboxes with it ;-)

Many thanks, John Maddock.
