Depends really as their body shapes can differ. Nothing lower than 900g I'd say personally.
If this helps......I have never had a smooth-haired petite boar weigh less than 1.1kg when healthy....and my chunky abi's weigh from 1.25-1.55kg.......that's from keeping 12 boars over the last 6 years.
Unless it really was tiny (or the runt of the litter)....I would be concerned if any boar weighed under a kilo - it might indicate possible teeth problems or something else causing it to not eat enough. First thing I would do though is up the hay intake, check the water bottles aren;t blocked and make sure if said pig was with other pigs that it was getting it;s fair share of foood.
