If it's just the dependency, use:
BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.boost-libs+=      boost-libs>=whatever

On the other hand, DEPENDS doesn't make the library available for
linking, so I assume it doesn't really link against boost-libs, and
then I wonder if the dependency is completely unneeded.

Manually upgrade your production database.

Perforce version control. Predictably reliable.
