Actually, FindBoost should use CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH, from brad.king commenting on 0009567:

This already exists. It's called "CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH":

http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake2.6docs.html#variable:CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH [^]

It already takes care of listing 32-bit and 64-bit Program Files
directories, etc.

Furthermore, all the FIND_* commands already search under it.

If a module needs specific package names to be added, it is free to do so.
 For example, FindBoost could do:

 set(_boost_INCLUDE_SEARCH_DIRS)
 foreach(dir ${CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH})
   list(APPEND _boost_INCLUDE_SEARCH_DIRS ${dir}/boost/include
${dir}/boost)
 endforeach()

instead of hard-coding the include search path.

I think this may have been fixed by a generic addition of looking for stuff in "/opt/local" on the Mac in the 2.8.3 release...

This should be fixed "automatically" now because CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH always includes "/opt/local" in Darwin.cmake.

If there is still a problem, please feel free to re-open this issue and attach additional information.
