Hmm yes I see. -arch flags are not compatible with the FSF GCC compilers in MacPorts. You could probably

sudo port extract boost

then

cd $(port work boost)

then edit tools/build/v2/tools/darwin.jam to remove those flags, then

cd
sudo port -ns upgrade --force boost configure.compiler=macports-gcc-4.6
