Poudriere handles that situation fine.

You setup sets for each configuration you want. Your options can either 
be in the /var/db/ports format or in a make.conf with 
OPTIONS_SET/OPTIONS_UNSET/uniquename_OPTIONS...

   poudriere bulk -j JAIL -z SET

This will use:

   /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/SET-make.conf
   /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/make.conf
   /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/SET-options

So with 1 jail you can build package sets for each target machine.

You can use poudriere options to configure these in the /var/db/ports 
format which automatically creates the SET-options dir:

   poudriere options -z SET

Poudriere will rebuild packages when the selected options change or new 
defaults are added.
