You probably want to send this type of query to the CMake user list.   
See below for a tip.

Set the BOOST_ROOT variable as an environment variable, not in your  
CMakeLists.txt file.
Alternatively, set the BOOST_ROOT variable in your CMakeLists.txt using:
        set( ENV{BOOST_ROOT} <path> )

I hope this helps.  If not, take the issue up on the CMake user list.
