It is advisable to change the Boost dynamic libraries themselves on MacOS instead of changing the executables or other dynamic libraries linked against them. Run the bash script given below in the directory that contains your libboost_XXX.dylib libraries:

#!/bin/bash

# Modify the absolute dylib paths baked into the libraries
for i in *.dylib
do
    FULLPATH=`pwd`/$i
    install_name_tool -id $FULLPATH $i
    echo -change $i $FULLPATH
    done > changes
for i in *.dylib
do
    install_name_tool `cat changes` $i
done
rm changes

You will need to do this only once after you built the Boost libraries. No mucking around with the executables linking against them is needed.
