i think it is when they are scent marking, my boys do this and sometimes its a bit whiffy 
mine do it too! And sometimes wee as well whilst they do it haha. They usually seem to do it after "brrring" at the other one :S
It is scent marking. The behaviour is not just confined to boars; here is one of my sows doing it:

They're dragging their little grease glands over certain areas to give them a good scent.
Boars can spray their scent or, when they want to be a bit more accurate, will drag their little behinds over the area they want to mark. You should notice the smell right away. They're marking their territory when they do this.
