Hi,

You probably need to raise this question with Alexander Churanov, who 
recently updated the FreeBSD port of Boost to 1.39.0.

Normally the libraries are built with multithreading support by default, 
as FreeBSD ships with POSIX threads enabled; however, this is a 
configurable option in the port itself; the use of threading in the 
headers is controllable by preprocessor defines.
