 I don't know enough about the intricacies of Macports dependencies to
 answer confidently, but I'm not sure that it would. For example, I can get
 the "system" layout by specifying the following install options:

     sudo port install boost -no_single

 This produces libraries like
 `/opt/local/lib/libboost_program_options.dylib`, although under Macports,
 that file is single-threaded, whereas under the "system" layout there is
 no knowing without looking more deeply into the boost installation.

 Basically, the system layout means that the path to the headers and
 libraries is always the same, and files names no longer contain
 information about build options.
