Not necessarily.  In general packages compiled in an 11.3-RELEASE jail 
will work fine on an 11.4-RELEASE machine.  The important exception is 
Kernel Loadable Modules, which need to be compiled on the same system 
version as where they will be run.

So: if you don't need to build any Kernel modules, then you don't need 
to update your poudriere jail.  Since updating the poudriere jail will 
force poudriere to rebuild _all_ of the packages from that jail (which 
could take quite some time) not upgrading or delaying upgrading can be 
quite a useful move.
