Thanks for your reply.
   I have previously used CBU as a substrate, so I am familiar with that product, and others that are similar. 
  
  However, I am resigned to have the tile installed over the existing pine boards, and I am looking for any ideas about how to prepare the surface of these boards for the tile adhesive.
  
  No doubt, the tile installer I hire for this job will have some ideas on this.

Whatever you choose, do know that using a non-modified thinset over concrete board is what you should use for your adhesive but not over wood substrates.  It will loosen from a wood substrate.  If you do go with wood, use a latex modified thinset.
