The approach I take with debian packages is:
1. bjam --without-python ...
2. for pyver in $(pyversions); do bjam --with-python python=$pyver ...
There are a bunch of other details, like doing the same trick during
install, and using --python-buildid so that the various flavours of
libboost_python are distinguishable. Note that the latter is broken
in the trunk, so I have to patch around it.
The full details are available in debian/rules, available here:
