Thanks for the assistance. Unfortunately, I am still running into problems.
First, to answer the questions about libboost_thread, I have the following
files:

/usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.56.0/lib/libboost_thread-mt.a
/usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.56.0/lib/libboost_thread-mt.dylib

I'm not sure what the difference of libboost_thread-mt.a versus
libboost_thread.a means.

But in any case, I just uninstalled boost and tried to install it again
using your way and the sourceforge link. Notice that this installs boost
*1.55* instead of 1.56. I installed boost, put it in my home directory, and
then untarred it, and boostrapped it. But then this command fails:

./b2 -j8 --prefix=$PWD --libdir=$PWD/lib64 --layout=system link=static
install || echo failure

There were so many errors that this gave me that I'm not sure how to
interpret them, so I've attached it in a log file in case it helps. I got
the log by running:

./b2 -j8 --prefix=$PWD --libdir=$PWD/lib64 --layout=system link=static
install >> boost_build.log

And in any case I do not see any file that contains "libboost_thread" in it
in the lib64 directory. I am not sure what the issue is with boost.

Thanks,
Daniel
