No, it doesn't work.  The pre-fetch phase is always executed but in the 
case where
boost is not installed already and a dependency on boost exists, then 
port attempts to
build the dependency (without +python25, of course) before executing the 
pre-fetch phase.

So in this case, its either build boost twice (several hours each time) 
or not have a
dependency on boost recorded in the registry.

Yuck!
