I wouldn't be so quick to blame poudriere.  There are many ports that 
won't build in poudriere due to problems with the port makefiles.  In 
fact, I've only seen one legitimate case of a port that was fine but 
poudriere erroneously didn't build it.  The rest were problems that 
poudriere flagged.

You have to look at the log and see what the problem is, then report the 
problem via PR.

e.g. look in /usr/local/poudriere/data/logs/....
