Yes.  I use Boost.Python with the fink-supplied Python.  The catch is
that I don't use bjam to do it.  Also, I use a gcc compiled from FSF
sources rather than the Developer Tools/XCode.  The last time I checked
(last fall), Apple's GCC was broken in such a way that an extension
would deadlock when it was imported into Python[1].  This bug (and the
one mentioned in the FAQ) could be fixed by now, I haven't checked.

I've attached the makefile that I use to build Boost.Python.  The flags
are based on observing bjam's output on another platform.  The final
link line is based on a discussion on this mailing list from several
months ago.  Searching the archives for "OS X" should find it.

HTH,
