pkg query %o > /tmp/pkglist.txt
poudriere -v bulk -j 11amd64 -f /tmp/pkglist.txt

This is what I use.

Poudriere will only build ports from the list that need updating. This
includes rebuilding ports that have had updated dependencies, (which iirc is
a change from Portmaster's behaviour, though seemingly you can turn this off
with 'poudriere bulk -S').
