Unfortunately the first thing that 3.1.[012]? did was install all the 
pkg stuff and change the pkg_add repo into a pkg repo... or something 
like it, which broke everything horribly..  it was a long time ago so no 
idea the specifics now... but it (3.1.x) was put on a 'not suitable for 
use due to security issues' list.

Which I have 2 currently - one which is 'HEAD' and the other which is my 
'pkg_*' tools tree (up to date - mostly).

Yes, however 3.1.x 'updated' the repo from pkg_* to something like pkgng 
- it was completely f**ked though... basically had to erase everything, 
downgrade and reinstall everything to get it back to a 'will build both 
trees' state.

That doesn't make sense...  the host has for months been well behind 
both my tree and the ng trees... all the versions would be way out of 
whack and even some not existing (ruby comes to mind.)

Yup

Will check this - if it mounts the local copy of the tree this would 
probably fix it.

They already are in VMs.. but if poudriere make modifications to the OS 
then it is a security issue.  If it modifies/builds packages that's fine.

... let me expand on that ... anything that modifies something in the 
base OS unless specifically designed and approved to interact with the 
OS (eg puppet) then as far as I am concerned (and my employer) it's a 
security risk.  Can't have things willy nilly changing the OS, it will 
eventually break stuff and that could cause/lead to production 
outages... it's just not done.
