Comment (by michaelld@…):

 Yes, that's the issue: Boost 1.52 is known to break threading (not just in
 GNU Radio, but in general) and hence was removed from the "known good
 boost" list inside GNU Radio's CMake build scripts. Because you have Boost
 1.52 installed and active, CMake is pretty much refusing to compile
 anything; which is what it is supposed to do in this circumstance. For
 more info, see [http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/discuss-
 gnuradio/2012-12/msg00246.html this thread] from the GNU Radio discuss
 list. Follow the instructions from [http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html
 /discuss-gnuradio/2013-01/msg00079.html this email] to deal with the
 problem and get the gnuradio port installed and working. You'll also want
 to do:
 {{{
 sudo port uninstall gnuradio
 }}}
 and then, once boost 1.51 is active, try installing "gnuradio +full"
 again; should work next time.

 I do not know when the MacPorts folks will get Boost 1.53 up and running
 -- it has been out for quite a while now, but the "boost" port owner has
 not updated the port yet.  I was really hoping that Boost would get
 updated to 1.53 before anyone had this issue; ah well :)
