For my stuff, I pull my stuff into /usr/ports however I want (git, long before
it was fashionable in my case) and then just set up poudriere to use that.  I
do a similar things with /usr/src, except I want poudriere to have a static
copy of that, just in case.

    [initial creation]
	poudriere jail -c -j 12-2 -v 12.2 -m src=/usr/src
	poudriere ports -c -m null -M /usr/ports -p master

	poudriere jail -l

		JAILNAME VERSION            ARCH  METHOD       TIMESTAMP           PATH
		12-2     12.2-BETA2 1202000 amd64 src=/usr/src 2020-09-18 15:32:59 /usr/local/poudriere/jails/12-2

  The "-m null" (null method) lets you manage it however you want.

  If I look at my mounts during the build, with ZFS, I can see them:

	Filesystem              Size    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
	...
	/usr/ports              350G    4.0G    346G     1%    /usr/local/poudriere/data/.m/12-2-master/ref/usr/ports
	/usr/ports/distfiles    364G     17G    346G     5%    /usr/local/poudriere/data/.m/12-2-master/ref/distfiles
