Comment(by vkuznet@…):

 I have Lion and mongodb fails to upgrade. Initial error message is the
 following:

 --->  Configuring mongodb
 Error: mongodb 2.0.7 requires boost 1.49.x or older but you have boost
 1.50.0.
 Error: To downgrade boost, see
 https://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/InstallingOlderPort
 Error: or more specifically
 https://trac.macports.org/ticket/35118#comment:12
 Error: org.macports.configure for port mongodb returned: boost 1.50.0 is
 too new
 Please see the log file for port mongodb for details:
 /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_databases_mongodb/mongodb/main.log
 Error: Unable to upgrade port: 1
 To report a bug, follow the instructions in the guide:
     http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets

 I have

 vk at localhost(11:01:05)> sudo port installed | grep boost
   boost @1.50.0_0 (active)
   boost-jam @3.1.18_0 (active)

 so I don't know why mongodb port complains about boost. Then I tried to
 install previous boost and to my surprise it did not pick up correct
 version

 vk at localhost(11:01:36)> sudo port install boost @1.49.0_0
 --->  Computing dependencies for boost
 --->  Fetching archive for boost
 --->  Attempting to fetch
 boost-1.50.0_0+no_single+no_static.darwin_11.x86_64.tbz2 from
 http://packages.macports.org/boost
 --->  Attempting to fetch
 boost-1.50.0_0+no_single+no_static.darwin_11.x86_64.tbz2.rmd160 from
 http://packages.macports.org/boost
 --->  Installing boost @1.50.0_0+no_single+no_static
 --->  Deactivating boost @1.50.0_0
 --->  Cleaning boost
 --->  Activating boost @1.50.0_0+no_single+no_static
 --->  Cleaning boost
 --->  Updating database of binaries: 100.0%
 --->  Scanning binaries for linking errors: 100.0%
 --->  No broken files found.

 So when I checked what I have I got the following

 vk at localhost(11:08:04)> sudo port installed | grep boost
 Password:
   boost @1.50.0_0
   boost @1.50.0_0+no_single+no_static (active)
   boost-jam @3.1.18_0 (active)

 Certainly there are two problems here.
 1. MongoDB asks for boost 1.49.x or newer and if system has newer version
 MongoDB port fails to install
 2. Asking to install boost 1.49.0 installs the wrong version of boost.
