I built a clean jail yesterday, portsnapped a new ports tree (i.e. fetch

"portmaster -dgGH x11/xorg". It seemed to build Xorg properly, but
there were no packages built for any of the many dependencies. I tried
an older portmaster version that used to work and it seemed to have the
same problem. Is this difficulty due to changes in the ports tree that
broke dependent package building? Any suggestions? I have avoided
poudriere so far because I like having no ports tree except in the jail.
This will be fixed in 3.17.6.
In the meantime a workaround is to also use the -t flag.
As for poudriere, where it places its ports tree is really no
different than you keeping it in your jail now. It does not have to be
in /usr/ports. By default it will use
/usr/local/poudriere/ports/default/.
I do highly recommend poudriere. Building ports on a live system is
dangerous as it can leave things broken for long periods of time.
Portmaster is even worse as it will uninstall ports for very long
periods of time while upgrading dependencies. Portupgrade handles this
situation much better, but of course has all of its own cons.
The -g bug is now fixed in the released 3.17.6.
It was due to a change in the ports framework, that I plan to rework a
bit. For now I've put a workaround into portmaster.
