Thank you. 

I've not encountered the issue you describe yet - not by design though,
more like by accident ;)

I normally use a local poudriere for local ports. Rather than having
a make.conf src.conf etc specifically for the poudriere jail, instead they are 
symlinked to /etc/src.conf and /etc/make.conf (and /etc/src-env.conf)
and the jail is built after a make installworld for the system using
-m src=/usr/src (and because it uses the obj files created previously,
it'll build and install in about a minute).

Because the jail gets rebuilt when poudriere runs again, it clears out 
all packages and rebuilds them automatically against the new freebsd
version.

What I was worried about is if in /etc/src.conf I build from
a default system, (for example) add WITHOUT_IPV6= and WITH_SORT_THREADS=
whether the OS is smart enough to tidy the cruft left behind
after these adjustments.
