I found it simplest to create a new poudriere jail named 12amd64 to coincide
with my existing 11amd64 jail.

In my case the only port I build that needs non-standard options is
mail/postfix, to enable Cyrus SASL support. Consequently I have this setting
in /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/make.conf (outside the jail) which from what I
understand applies to both my 11amd64 and 12amd64 (and future) poudriere jails:

# build Postfix with Cyrus SASL support
mail_postfix_SET=SASL

Of course, be sure to point your FreeBSD 12.0-REL systems to your new 12.0 repo,
instead of your old 11.x repo.
