I am not sure. The FindBoost.cmake shipped within CGAL most mostly from CMake 
(CGAL developers have tweaked it a bit, though). If I correclty read the 
macro, the CMake macro FindBoost only search for *installed* Boost. Once you 
have Boost compiled, you need to install it (use "bjam install"), so that its 
layout is correctly detected by the CMake macro.
