Thanks! For some reason --package went under my radar.

By 'used ports' I meant the installed ports/packages on the host that is to 
become the build machine, but whose selection of ports might not be the same 
as the live machine. If possible I would like to build the ports destined for 
the live machine using a completely separate package databased, target 
installation directory, etc. But the more I think of it the more I am 
convinced that using a chroot/jail is probably the best way to accomplish 
this.
