I have just installed the current version of the gcc compiler on an
Apple XServe/darwin platform, and then recompiled boost using the new
gcc.

I have found that it is still necessary to use the 'using darwin'
option.  However, the new gcc does not support the -no-cpp-precomp
option and I had to modify line 332 of darwin.jam before it could
compile.  

It looks as if this is only needed for old Apple compilers, and may well
be removed from the new Apple compiler

Perhaps darwin.jam could be changed to make its use conditional on the
release of the compiler?
