I suppose that the getThickness function gets called whenever
GraphPlot gets around to setting up that edge.  There's no
particular reason to expect the edges to be set up in the order
they appear in your edge list.  Note that getThickness caches
its results, so you can just map that onto the edge list first.
The definition needs to be modified slightly though.  Thus,
the following works:

Clear[getThickness];
Clear[getColor];
Clear[e];

Freq[1] = 0.004; Freq[2] = 0.012; Freq[3] = 0.004;
Color[1] = Red; Color[2] = Blue; Color[3] = Green;
count = 1;
getThickness[{v1_, v2_}] := {getThickness[{v1, v2}] = Freq[count];
  count++;}
e = {LGA -> PHX, PHX -> LGA, LGA -> BOS};
getThickness /@ List @@@ e;
ColorCount = 1;
getColor[{v1_, v2_}] := {getColor[{v1, v2}] = Color[ColorCount];
  ColorCount++;}
g = GraphPlot[e, DirectedEdges -> True, VertexLabeling -> True,
      EdgeRenderingFunction -> ({getColor[#2],
      Thickness[getThickness[#2]], Arrowheads[{{.05, .8}}],
      Arrow[#1]} &),
  PlotRange -> {{0, 2}, {-0.08, 0.08}}]
