It doesn't smell good to me. Ideally the upstream build system should figure out itself where's what. But then maybe fighting with the build system is not worth the effort.
If you decide to go the --with-boost-libdir route, please remember about this part of dpkg-architecture(1) manual page:
“The environment variables set by dpkg-architecture are passed to debian/rules as make variables (see make documentation). However, you should not rely on them, as this breaks manual invocation of the script. Instead, you should always initialize them using dpkg-architecture with the -q option.”
