As promised, I am sending an update on this.  The EL9 package for boinc 
client has indeed appeared in the repositories.  I ran "dnf upgrade" on 
the system last night, and it successfully pulled in the package as an 
upgrade to the EL8 package I installed a few weeks ago.

That closes out this issue.  Thanks Phil for prodding the packaging 
process along.
