As I hope to put together a jail-based package builder myself, what
I was considering, and might as well ask you about:

Could you not, for your jails, maintain a pkgtools.conf(5) file?

Just copy it in when you provision your jail, then use 'portupgrade
-P' to let your jail fetch needed packages to satisfy dependancies,
as to build the targeted package?
