This is exactly on point.

Poudriere is a package building system, and the packages may be used on
this host, or as a repository for other hosts... so what is installed on
the current host is irrelevant.

That said, if you are only using one host, then the following will work
great.
pkg query %o > /usr/local/etc/poudriere-list
poudriere -v bulk -j 11amd64 -f /usr/local/etc/poudriere-list

Note that I don’t store it in /tmp/ as you will want to keep the file
around for next build. Each time you want a new package, add it to the file
first, and rebuild.

Note the first time poudriere will build all packages, regardless of
whether they are up to date on the host already. In poudriere’s package
repo, they don’t exist yet. The second time and after, poudriere will only
build the ports which are out-dated or who’s dependencies were updated.

Regards,
Ben
