No, it's just a link to libSystem.B.dylib: 
ln -s libSystem.B.dylib libutil.dylib

Also a link to :
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/python

I don't use Fink.

I've messed around quite a bit. 8-)

In boost_1_28_0/tools/buidl/gcc-tools.jam:
Replaced (line 205):
    flags gcc LINKFLAGS <target-type>$(SHARED_TYPES) : -shared ;
with:
 flags gcc LINKFLAGS <target-type>$(SHARED_TYPES) : -bundle -bundle_loader 
/usr/local/bin/python -framework Python -framework System -flat_namespace 
-undefined warning -lstdc++ ;

I also build a different type of libboost_python by:
cd 
boost_1_28_0/libs/python/build/bin/libboost_python.so/gcc/debug/runtime-link-dynamic/shared-linkable-true
ld -dynamic -r -o libboost_python.dylib *.o 

So that it can be linked by other static linker (ld).
