At some point FreeBSD needs to update to the latest version of boost
One or more of your ports was shown to break during our last -exp run:

http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/amd64-errorlogs/e.8-exp.20120127093941/

Can each of you take a look to see if the latst version of the port from
upstream fixes known problems with boost?

Thanks.

Just a note that 1.49 has been released.

Regarding the exp-run results and this comment
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/156253#reply7 -  I think that the
number of the failing ports is sufficiently small and the current boost version is
sufficiently outdated to justify breaking those ports and putting onus on their
maintainers and upstreams.

I suspect that in some case just updating the ports to the latest upstreams could
fix the problems.

This bug report seems to describe the same issue and has fixes:
https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=64945
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43139

http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/amd64-errorlogs/a.8-exp.20120127093941/gstreamer-qt4-0.10.1_1.log
http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/amd64-errorlogs/a.8-exp.20120127093941/wesnoth-1.8.6.log
Googling for <error: 'boost::BOOST_FOREACH' has not been declared> provides a
number of recipes for a fix - the problem seems to be universally caused by
#define foreach BOOST_FOREACH somewhere in (non-boost) source code.

http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/amd64-errorlogs/a.8-exp.20120127093941/gstreamer-qt4-0.10.1_1.log
Again google helps (<Parse error at "BOOST_JOIN">):
https://bugreports.qt-project.org//browse/QTBUG-22829

Every problem seems to have a solution already.  We are not the first to use newer
boost :-)
But it's unreasonable to expect that a single person should fix all the problems
in advance.  The task should be parallelized among maintainers of the dependent
ports (and their users with hacking skills).
