For reference as far as the poudriere direct output instead
of the log file:

The overall build is still in progress. So I've not had
a chance to run poudriere again to have it retry just
the 3 ports (1 failed and 2 skipped). (Presumes the rest
build okay.)

A race suggests that MAKE_JOBS_UNSAFE=yes may well be appropriate.
