It may be worth noting that boost was restructured rather significantly
in July and updated to version 1.41 just this week. I suspect that you
may have some bits of the old boost port mixed in with the current
one. I would suggest removing boost-libs and an other boost ports
(pkg_info -c boost\*) and then re-install them. Be sure that your ports
tree is up to date and that you are installing boost-libs-1.41.

I just tried and the tarball is fetchable, although the transfer rate I
got from sourceforge was painfully slow.
