The port is out of sync with boost.org, the port version is 1.39 and upstream is 1.41.

The patch for updating to 1.41 is ready, but there is an unresolved issue, directly caused by the update. The issue is filed in the boost bug tracker. The Boost team considers the issue resolved and the ticket is closed, however no patch or version control revision information was provided. It is stated, that the Boost in trunk contains necessary changes. The diff between the 1.41 reelase and trunk for the “serialization” and “archive” libraries is ~100 changed files.

Waiting for the Boost team to provide useful feedback

Boost.Test report less details for SIGBUS, SIGCHLD, SIGSEGV and SIGILL on FreeBSD than it might on other UNIX-like platform. The reason is detailed information is not available on FreeBSD 6x. The issue is temporary.

Boost.Math does not support long double version of functions, because related functionality only presents in FreeBSD-8.
