I'm probably missing your point.

If boost is installed with +python25 then libboost_python-mt.dylib 
exists and neither test does anything -- no error, dependency on boost 
remains.

Boost cannot be installed as a dependency by this port (if it is not 
installed libboost_python-mt.dylib and libboost_system-mt.dylib do not 
exist, the dependency on boost is dropped and port errors out asking 
that boost +python25 be installed manually).  This is appropriate 
because it is not possible to pass variants to dependencies.

If boost has been installed (either manually or by a dependency a port) 
but there is no python25 support then libboost_python-mt.dylib does not 
exist
but libboost_system-mt.dylib does, the dependency is dropped and the 
port errors out asking to deactivate the existing boost port and
install boost +python25.

What am I missing?  Sorry if I'm being dense.
