If you haven't already installed Darwin Ports, you can find easy instructions for doing so at the main Darwin Ports page.
Once Darwin Ports has been installed, in a terminal window and while online, type the following and hit return:

%  cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/boost-build
%  sudo port install boost-build  
Password: 

You will then be prompted for your root password, which you should enter. You may have to wait for a few minutes while the software is retrieved from the network and installed for you. Y ou should see something that looks similar to:

--->  Fetching boost-build
--->  Verifying checksum for boost-build
--->  Extracting boost-build
--->  Configuring boost-build
--->  Building boost-build with target all

--->  Staging boost-build into destroot

--->  Installing boost-build

- Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using boost-build with these commands:

%  man boost-build
%  apropos boost-build
%  which boost-build
%  locate boost-build
