Can you maybe try using define=MPICH_SKIP_MPICXX instead of cxxflags? 
See 
http://www.boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/overview/invocation.html#bbv2.overview.invocation.properties 
for the full list; I don't see an easy way to add flags without overriding 
the existing ones (you might want to ask on the Boost.Build list about 
that).  At least some of the current flags come from 
libs/mpi/build/Jamfile.v2.
