 It uses the full path, so it doesn't need 'port select' at all.

 because it would give users the simple ability to break all existing ports
 using boost; I don't want it to be that easy for users to shoot themselves
 in the foot.

 You actually already have this because of the +openmpi variant. A user can
 just,

 $ port install openmpi +gcc47
 $ port install boost +openmpi

 I think this is, unfortunately, the price to pay for wanting to use
 something that depends on boost :-/ If the whole variant dependence issue
 was solved, that would mitigate some of these issues, but that's a whole
 other issue (get it? issue? hah!).
