Hi Colin,

Are you positive your symlinks are correct?

I am using boost built from macports, so about all I can offer is that  
the symlinking in version 1_34 was a tricky problem.  You might  
benefit from taking a look a the boost port file to see how they  
managed the correct symlinking:

http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/browser/trunk/dports/devel/boost/Portfile

Overall, keep your notes on building boost for mapnik: posting to  
mapnik trac about how to get 10.5 running with boost would be a really  
useful thing (when you get there).
