For Posterity, the full command req'dis:

bjam

 --toolset=darwin

 --architecture=combined

 link=static

 threading=multi

 address-model=32

 macosx-version=10.4

 stage debug release

Thanks, Jeff

Due to issues with the configs for OS X, you have to use the bjam calls and
Jeff pointed out the correct ones.Nota Bene: if you want to build 66-bit
libs, not all of them build (for shared libs) and you have a to add:

 macosx-version=10.5

In my shell script I made for building various configurations I use the
following command
where:
   link_type = static | shared
   local_arch = x86 | power
   local_address_model = 32 | 64

    bjam release debug toolset=darwin \
        link=${link_type} \
        threading=multi \
        architecture=${local_arch} \
        address-model=${local_address_model} \
        macosx-version=10.5

Works for me.
