I'm doing a similar thing on head. What I do is run normal svn up; make
buildworld; make buildkernel; make packages on the poudriere machine. I
the upgrade that machine with the new base packages.

After that I perform:

poudriere jail -j ${j} -u -t 359154

where 359154 is the subversion revision I have just compiled in /usr/src.

So I get packages for that exact head revision.

Hope this answers your question.

BTW I have found no way to create a jail with a fixed svn revision from
the get go. When I need to do that, I resort to temporarily modifying
poudriere code at jail.sh:563, adding -r <rev> option. I then revert the
change.
