FreeBSD 10 + Apache + PHP

I don't see how Poudriere would help in this situation (but I also don't know how Poudriere works). I just have one real server and a couple of dev vm's. It doesn't feel it would be worthwhile to have a local Poudriere repo, update it, rebuild the packages, and then finally update my couple servers, when I couldjust "pkg upgrade" on each server (if I can go 100% packages). Am I missing something?

I'm trying to work through a packages-only system with nginx, php, php extensions, and MariaDB/MySQL) all installed using binary packages. I'm hoping that using pkg to upgrade binary packages will be a huge time savings over "postmaster -af", but the critical thing (from what I've read) is to have a 100% binary packages system (with absolutely nothing from ports).

I too want to manage hosts exclusively with binary packages.  In the absence of a working a Poudriere implementation, it appears I will have to install it via ports. :(
