Some questions about pkgbase

Hello.

I've got some questions on pkgbase that I was not able to find an answer 
for.
I'm listing them here in no particular order...


Since I have some local modifications to the official sources, I'd like 
to build my own base packages.
Can this be done with poudriere?

In that case, can poudriere, running on a certain OS version, build 
packages for older versions, like it does for ports?

I guess I can still compile the kernel locally on a machine (in case it 
has some options that differs from GENERIC), right?
(Of course I'll have to pay attention to avoid mixing different 
kernel/userland versions).

Is it production ready for 14.3?
Ideally I'd like to use poudriere on 14.3 and setup up *new* 14.3 boxes 
with pkgbase (for now I'm delaying conversion of existing, long standing 
machines and the upgrade to 15).



  bye & Thanks
