I meant installing up-to-date packages from the *local* repository. So if only Firefox needs to be updated would Poudriere first install Firefox's dependencies into the jail from locally generated package files before building Firefox.
Poudriere builds repositories and yes, uses any package already built in that repository if it's a build dependency for another. Note that you have multiple repos, built with different base jails, different ports trees, different sets of packages, options, make.conf options.
But even for single machine use, it allows simple building of any list of wanted packages, it makes sure those and their dependencies are built, up to date (relative to the ports tree it's configured to use), and kept as a persistent repository. You can even delete a package txz from the repo manually, on next bulk run it will simply rebuild what's missing.
