This should be either

  <prefix>/lib/cmake/boost[version]/Boost.cmake

or

  <prefix>/lib/boost[version]/cmake/Boost.cmake

As a CMake developer, I prefer that people not clutter the lib/cmake
namespace either.  Also, <prefix>/lib/cmake/Boost.cmake leaves no place
for the boost version.  Finally, the find_package command looks in

  <prefix>/lib/cmake/<name>*/
  <prefix>/lib/<name>*/
  <prefix>/lib/<name>*/(cmake|CMake)/

among other places for <name>Config.cmake, and presumably BoostConfig.cmake
should sit next to Boost.cmake one day.
