Reason for closing:  Won't fix
Additional comments about closing:  boost is make-time dependency, no need to bloat users with additional dependency.

Fixed in 0.9.2-2 Please download it from [testing] and make sure it works as expected.

After thinking for a while about this issue I've decided that adding boost to 'depends' is a wrong thing. 'depends' is really for runtime dependencies, not for build-time dependencies. Thus all thrift-y packages have to add 'boost' to their makedepends.
