I ran into the same problem last year:
http://lists.boost.org/boost-users/2010/04/58143.php

Since then I got some help from Cray (Paolo Palazzi and others), this is 
what I currently use on a XT5 and Intel:

echo "using mpi : : <find-shared-library>mpich ;" >> 
./tools/build/v2/user-config.jam &&

echo "using intel : : : 
<compileflags>-I/opt/mpt/default/xt/mpich2-gnu/include 
<linkflags>-L/opt/mpt/default/xt/mpich2-gnu/lib ;
" >> ./tools/build/v2/user-config.jam &&

./bjam --prefix=... toolset=intel &&

./bjam install --prefix=... toolset=intel

GCC:

echo "using mpi : : <find-shared-library>mpich ;" >> 
./tools/build/v2/user-config.jam &&

echo "using gcc : : : 
<compileflags>-I/opt/mpt/default/xt/mpich2-gnu/include 
<linkflags>-L/opt/mpt/default/xt/mpich2-gnu/lib ;"
 >> ./tools/build/v2/user-config.jam &&

./bjam --prefix=... &&

./bjam install --prefix=...

toolset=pgi should work with PGI.

Substitute /opt/mpt/default/... with for example 
/opt/cray/mpt/5.2.0/xt/seastar/mpich2-gnu/ if you use a newer version of 
mpt.

I also have the following in ~/bin/ (which is in $PATH) but it is 
probably not required:
mpic++ -> /opt/cray/xt-asyncpe/3.3/bin/CC
...

Hmm, actually for intel the -L and -I should probably be 
/opt/mpt/default/xt/mpich2-intel/... but mpich2-gnu seems to have worked 
so far.
