May 19, 2010 at 21:59 comment added Matthew Stover You can be more explicit if you pick something with one boundary component and $\mathbb Z$ homology not coming from the boundary. For example, take a closed hyperbolic 3-manifold with a totally geodesic separating surface that doesn't carry all the homology, and cut the closed manifold in half. (Okay, and make sure there's homology supported on one half.) Pull-back from $\mathbb Z / n \mathbb Z$ quotients from that homology, and you get your covers with $n$ boundary components.
