I finally got it to work, using the following commands:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${install_base_dir}/boost_1_37_0/lib"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

./configure                    \
     --prefix="${install_dir}"  \
     --with-boost="${install_base_dir}/boost_1_37_0" \
     --disable-debug            \
     --enable-optimize          \
     COMPILED_BY="Christoph Lipka"

make check
make install


Caveat is that LD_LIBRARY_PATH must also be set whenever running 
POV-Ray. Care should also be taken in case LD_LIBRARY_PATH is already 
set for other purposes (in this case the path to the boost lib directory 
should be prepended or appended, separated with a colon, i.e.: 
"${install_base_dir}/boost_1_37_0/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}" - unless it is 
already contained in LD_LIBRARY_PATH of course...)
