There is no package.  Build from the boost instructions.

Goto the Boost Download site linked from http://www.boost.org .

Download boost_1_38_0, get the latest bjam executable in the nxt86.zip package.

Get the PDF documentation for Boost if you want them.  The link to them
is hiding in the lower left corner of the download page in the 'news' section.

Build with the TDM version of MingW (4.3.3 today).  Put bjam in your path,
put mingw\bin in your path.

Unpack boost to boost_1_38_0.
cd boost_1_38_0
mkdir build
then run:

bjam --build-dir=build --toolset=gcc --build-type=complete stage

Come back in three to five hours later when it is done compiling (which mine
has now been doing for about ten minutes.  I do this with each release, it
really does take *hours* to build boost.  I needed to update anyway).

I'll try building srecord after all the compiling is done.
