Flavours are for builds with different options from the same source
tree, producing essentially the same thing (e.g. a port which must be
compiled to use some type of database, and you want to provide support
for mysql/postgresql).

What you're asking for would mean having two separate *non-conflicting*
ports with different versions of boost, and adapting the other ports to
use one or other version of them, that would be _significantly_ more
difficult and time consuming than adapting those ports which depend on
boost to cope with upstream changes.
