I believe the answer may be "Yes," but why? The package repository is
separate
from the jail. Unless you have some exceptional case there's really nothing
in
the jail itself worth exporting over a network.

Because creating a jail with poudriere takes a minute, while creating
it in a traditional (buildworld/buildkernel) way takes an hour. Things
get even more complicated with buildworld/buildkernel if I need
multiple versions and architectures while with poudriere it's very
easily achieved.

I need the jail itself, in order to mount it as / over NFS on a diskless
client.
