I do not know about powerDNS.
boost's includes are normally expected in a directory named boost,
#included with something like <boost/xxx.hpp>.
This directory gets installed by the boost port directly under /opt/local/bin
so your flags should read -I/opt/local/include
without the trailing "/boost"

imho you should not "take the easy road" but rely on macports to install boost as a dependency.
