Why not just let the user decide where they'd like to get boost, and
simplify your build system by just using find_package(Boost)?

For example, this is all you need for a simple boost-using app...

find_package(Boost 1.34.0 REQUIRED COMPONENTS filesystem system)
include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIR})
add_executable(yourapp yourapp.cpp)
target_link_libraries(yourapp ${Boost_LIBRARIES})
