A quick glance in the portfile shows that it doesn't use the standard configure phase (which is how ports automatically acquire support for changing build_arch) and searching the portfile for "arch" doesn't show any code that would cause the port to respect build_arch. So this should be filed as a bug in the boost port.

OK, i tried to understand the port config for boost and it seams you are right.
boost does not install  on build_arch=i386 systems.
I opened a ticket:

https://trac.macports.org/ticket/23796

thanks for you help!
