Could you attach the main.log please? You can find the file in the location printed by the command "port logfile boost". It builds fine for me; maybe comparing our logs will help figure out what the problem is.

Attached to ticket.

Your log is only ~30,000 lines long. My log from a successful build is ~715,000 lines long. How long did you wait? On my 2.2GHz MacBook Pro this build took 37 minutes. So I don't think any "loop" is occurring; boost just takes a long time to build. Please try again and let it run longer. It should eventually finish.

I had previously run it overnight on a maxed out 2014 iMac. But I will try that again, and look at that log.

Yes, the compilation eventually succeeds. Sorry for the noise. Closing ticket.
