Scenarios like this are the reason I've deployed and been using Poudriere
to build private repos because intermingling the two systems has proven to
introduce numerous challenges through my own experiences and observations
on a number of mailing lists.

It is simple to setup a system to build private repos with Poudriere, but
one doesn't even need Poudriere to do it.  A private repo is as simple to
build as building the packages via Ports, copying them to your repo
directory, and running `pkg repo` on it.
