i think that's the case.  i can confirm that using prebuild packages is a life
saver.  on my system i haven't updated my poudriere.conf but rather specify
using packages and the branch via the "-p $BRANCH" switch to "poudriere bulk"
like so:

$ poudriere bulk -C  -w -j current14 -p default -b latest x11-servers/xorg-server

-p
