Building a Static Binary

I have a server that has several packages installed that depend on devel/boost-libs v1.52.0_2. I eventually plan on updating all the ports using new binary packages made from a build machine. That won't be done for a while and I need to install a new package that was built against devel/boost-libs v1.55.0_1.

The error (obviously) when trying to run is:
Code:
Shared object "libboost_system.so.1.55.0" not found, required by

I could also downgrade the build machine and make a new package with the correct version, but again, extra time and effort. :p

Is it possible to build a static linked binary for situations like this?
