As the creator of poudriere I would be more that happy to see poudriere ported
to Solaris-based os, on the paper it shouldn't be that hard: you have zfs
already zones that can probably be used the way we use the jails right now or
you can fallback on chroot like dragonfly does, you have tmpfs etc. That's on
the paper.

porting on pkgsrc would also be nice, I have been contacted by a couple of
pkgsrc developper but so far nothing came out.

Just keep in mind, that the main target will always remain FreeBSD but I can
offer a dedicated branch and tell you that there will be convergence. That is
how we do now with dragonfly.
