I can't really give you much help with this: openjdk8 is building just
fine for me on 11.1-RELEASE.  This is probably some small configuration
mistake that will have you face-palming once you find it...

OK.  Confusion over jails here.

The '-j' flag to pkg(8) allows you to install files into a jail from the
host system.  As you don't have any actual jails configured, you don't
want to use this flag.

These are completely different to the jails used by poudriere. In fact,
when you "create a jail" by eg.

   poudriere jail -c -j 11amd64 -v 11.1-RELEASE -a amd64 -m ftp

What you are actually doing is creating a template.  'poudriere jail -l'
will list all the templates poudriere knows about.  It's only during a
poudriere run that jails are actually created from these templates -- in
fact, as many jails as the degree of parallelism you've allowed in
poudriere.conf.  Try running jls(1) while poudriere is compiling stuff
and you'll see. These build jails are only temporary and are destroyed
as soon as the poudriere run ends.

Now, poudriere will collect all the packages it has built into a
repository.  It's typical to set up a webserver (nginx recommended) to
allow distribution of those packages, and you will need to write a
configuration file for pkg(8) giving the correct URL for your custom
repository.  You'll probably also want to turn off the default FreeBSD
package repository -- see the comment in /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf for how
to do that. Then you can just upgrade your system by:

   pkg upgrade

Hint: try 'pkg -vv' to see your pkg(8) configuration including all the
repositories you have configured.
