Since clang 16 (and gcc 11) the default C++ standard is now gnu++17.
Several ports that use boost/functional.hpp now complain with (for
example print/libmspub01):

              using std::unary_function;

                         __unary_function

              using std::binary_function;

  using __binary_function = __binary_function_keep_layout_base<_Arg1, _Arg2,
_Result>;
  ^

This is because std::unary_function and std::binary_function were
removed from C++17. Upstream boost/functional fixed this in
https://github.com/boostorg/functional/commit/6a573e4, so apply that
patch until boost 1.83.0 is released with it.

From looking at the logs of
https://pkg-status.freebsd.org/gohan05/build.html?mastername=mainamd64PR271047-default&build=2023-05-14_19h35m09s,
at least the following boost-using ports are affected:

* print/libmspub01
* finance/quantlib
* science/rmf
* games/wesnoth
