Well, space... you'd save all the space of boost libraries, _including_ boost-headers (which is the biggest package according to the numbers you showed). The binary packages will not need to rely on boost at all, as the header-only libraries provided by boost will be bundled into the binary.

Yeah, ok - they're build deps only.  In practice that doesn't make
much difference for me; since I don't use binpkgs much I'll wind up
with the build deps installed ~everywhere, but it's a good point
nonetheless.

Alternatively the monotone package could be changed to fetch its own copy of the boost distfile, unpack it in a temporary location, use that during the build and then remove everything. This is easily doable, but seems like a huge hack when you can simply pkg_delete boost-headers after monotone is installed :-)
