yes to everything. Basically, you first need to upgrade poudriere machine to the latest base system using freebsd-update, and upgrade all packages on it (poudriere being one of them). Then rebuild all packages you maintain using poudriere. Then upgrade the other system, and re-install all packages on it.

Experts will chime in if I’m missing something.
