You can help by creating, testing, and submitting a PR that upgrades the 
existing boost port to 1.36.  Read:

	http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/

Though, to avoid duplicating efforts, it might be worth waiting a few days 
for Simon's response in case he is already working on 1.36.  Based on mailing 
list archives, he was testing 1.35 back in April of this year.
