Ah.  In the spirit of prompt replies it seems that poudriere is happy
to build now (watching via htop).  I uncommented this line in
poudriere's local (ie, I am the author) configuration file
/usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/make.conf:

DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=python=3.6

Every once in a while I get crazy bored and start trying to roll back
deviations from default land.  Made a mistake, thank you for the
diagnosis.  Happiness in python land seems to be a very steep saddle
point.

Thanks very much,
