I ran bjam with the --prefix=$PWD/local option such that a new directory
'local' was created by Boost under the Boost source folder. After bjam
finished the 'local' folder then contains the 'include' and 'lib' folders:

johannr@simula-x61:boost_1_39_0$ pwd
/home/johannr/src/boost_1_39_0
johannr@simula-x61:boost_1_39_0$ ls local/
include  lib
johannr@simula-x61:boost_1_39_0$ ls local/include/
boost
johannr@simula-x61:boost_1_39_0$ ls local/lib/
libboost_filesystem.so         libboost_program_options.so.1.39.0
libboost_filesystem.so.1.39.0  libboost_system.so
libboost_program_options.so    libboost_system.so.1.39.0
johannr@simula-x61:boost_1_39_0$

withBoostDir is then set to the same folder that I used for the --prefix
option when running bjam, that is

  scons configure withBoostDir=/home/johannr/src/boost_1_39_0/local

Hope this helps,

Johannes
