If you have Xcode 4.2 maybe it doesn't like being compiled with clang; try llvm-gcc-4.2:

sudo port clean boxes
sudo port uninstall boxes
sudo port install boxes configure.compiler=llvm-gcc-4.2

If you have Xcode 4.1 maybe it doesn't like being compiled with llvm-gcc-4.2; try gcc-4.2:

sudo port clean boxes
sudo port uninstall boxes
sudo port install boxes configure.compiler=gcc-4.2

Let us know what works.
