Probably "bjam -sTOOLS=gcc", or "bjam -sTOOLS=gcc-stlport".
http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/building.html could use some improvements.
I tried both of the above, and "bjam" with no options at all and on each occasion the following error happened. It says that "no toolsets are configured" - so how does one cofigure a toolset? And which of the enormous quantity of boost documentation is it asking me to refer to? Could this mean that the Gentoo build of boost.python is flawed? If so, can anybody express the nature of this fault in such a way that I can raise it as a bug report on the gentoo bug tracker?
