Besides changing his itinerary in order to wait for his passport, is there a way to board via some other forms or documentation?

Most states have a procedure by which you can complete and fax in a form, after which they will fax you a photocopy of your DL and possibly a notice that you reported your DL as missing/stolen.

A photocopy of his birth certificate might help.

He should take the police report to show TSA. Sometimes they ask for it.

Sometimes they're satisfied with merely something with a photo on it, such as a Sam's or CostCo membership card. (Seems strange, but....)
