poudriere is really, really useful. Because it delivers a complete,
consistent package repo of all the ports (with individual options).
And it does so repeatable, down to one or several seperate os versions
to build for or a specific point in time for the ports tree,
with some individual options etc.

That works as well. I have a checkout of the ports tree, use
make config to define non-default port options. This stores the
selected OPTIONs in /var/db/ports/, and poudriere uses those options
just fine.

Combined with lots of RAM, ZFS on SSDs and ccache, compilation is very fast.
