If by tuned you mean "I want to have a non-default set of options", I
think pbulk and distbb support that.

pbulk and distbb also employ the clean jail approach.

It's not trivial, but poudriere is just a bunch of shell scripts (right
now).  But add on a new implemention of "jail.sh" per platform, plus
changing pkgng out for pkgsrc/pkgin and it's even a bigger job than the
dragonfly branch was.

But no, you should assume there is no poudriere clone available for
pkgsrc at the moment.
