Yes, you should selfupdate regularly to stay up to date.

--->  Computing dependencies for boost
--->  Cleaning boost

This shows that boost is already successfully installed.

--->  Scanning binaries for linking errors: 100.0%
--->  No broken files found.

This shows none of the ports you have installed have linking errors; good.

Permission to update the files on your disk was denied, because you did not request elevated privileges when running selfupdate. You should always run selfupdate with sudo:

This is some software you're trying to configure by hand? By what means are you informing it where boost is located? It probably won't just magically know that it's in /opt/local. You may need to use a configure flag, or set the CPPFLAGS or LDFLAGS or CPATH or LIBRARY_PATH environment variables correctly. It depends on the specific software you're building.
