I answered questions below but I think your approach is wrong. Just make
1 set / repository and use meta packages. See my blog
http://blog.shatow.net/posts/2013-07-21-managing-role-based-freebsd-servers-with-meta-packages-and-poudriere/

You would make a local/projectA meta package, local/projectB meta
package, etc. Your bulk list would only have the top-level meta-packages.

The one downside is that this would be 1 set with the same options.

The 'options' subcommand just calls 'make config-conditional' on the
port and then 'make config-recursive' on it again so that this issue
doesn't happen. Perhaps these commands are broken in the ports framework.

That site is not updated anymore. The current documentation is
https://github.com/freebsd/poudriere/wiki/poudriere.8

> I expected poudriere to combine options from both directories together.

No, it won't do that. Each options dir is a specific set. It will never
build _a set_ using _multiple sets_ configs and options. It will only
use files from _that 1 set_.

There is no sane way for Poudriere to do what you want. The 2 options
dirs could easily conflict with each other. I recommend against trying
to make this work and just making a new set.

Correct.

Yes, but again only 1 set will be used. So you have to make a '-z
combined_set' and run options against that set.
