It's available in poudriere-devel using -B when creating the jail. Then I simply cpdup the packages and pkgbase at the same time at the end of the package build. poudriere knows how to do make update-package for pkgbase so your machine will just update the modified packages (provided that you are on a RELEASE/STABLE branch or have WITH_REPRODUCIBLE_BUILD=yes in your jail src.conf for CURRENT). There is still one problem with that approch for kernel modules, they will be recompiled but as the version isn't bumped it will not be upgraded, so I just pkg install -f drm-devel-kmod from time to time.
