The previous portfile for the boost 1.33.1 port stripped off the version information from the library names (libboost_program_options-1_33_1.dylib would become libboost_program_options.dylib or something like that). Is this the preferred result of the installation/activation? If so, I'll have the 1.34.0 port do the same.

I've never seen any port that does that before. I don't know why it's done in the boost port. Check "svn log", "svn blame", look up boost tickets in Trac, etc.; see if you can track it down.
