I was thinking that if I move the check for boost +python25 from
pre-configure to an earlier phase,
say pre-fetch, then the check can be done before dependencies are
checked and I can restore the
dependency.
Will this work? In particular, will a pre-fetch phase be executed even
if the distribution file has already
been fetched by a previous port invocation?

No, it doesn't work. The pre-fetch phase is always executed but in the
case where
boost is not installed already and a dependency on boost exists, then
port attempts to
build the dependency (without +python25, of course) before executing the
pre-fetch phase.
So in this case, its either build boost twice (several hours each time)
or not have a
dependency on boost recorded in the registry.
Yuck!
