The 121-default is the name of the jail and the name of the ports tree
used.

You can have several ports trees in parallel:

$ poudriere ports -l
PORTSTREE METHOD   TIMESTAMP           PATH
default   portsnap 2020-02-16 10:02:15 /pou/ports/default
snmp      portsnap 2019-11-01 16:21:32 /pou/ports/snmp

I have one to test net/net-snmp 5.8 as well.

Not quite, see above.

The man page for pkg-query shows many options to ask for all this.

pkg query '%o'

gives you this list.

pkg accesses the repo, downloads some meta data (like meta.txz), and
compares that data with the packages you already have.
