If you build your own packages with custom settings using poudriere, 
then somewhere in: /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/ you will have pointer to 
your poudriere repository. Then, poudriere repository's supplied .pkg 
will take precedence over central FreeBSD repository's one, unless 
poudriere has older than FreeBSD repository version of package. This is 
the advantage of using poudriere.

If you just build port, you do need to lock these packages, and their 
dependencies affected by your custom config. I'm sure there are experts 
who do it this way who will provide better guidance for this case.
