If it was a normal style build of main-n247405-8fa5c577de3 then
both the kernel and world would be debug builds. But it is
possible to explicitly control if MALLOC_PRODUCTION is used
instead and the like, based on how doing the build was configured.
(Lots more can be controlled for the builds.)

I still can not tell if it was a debug (normal) main build or
not. I would guess it was a normal debug build, no extra
disabling or enabling of such.

Side Note:
Going in a separate direction: do you also run main on faster
aarch64 systems (RPi4B's)? Do you also build there? If so, it
is possible to make a copy of the

poudriere/data/packages/main-default/

tree from the fast system on the slower system and then
use pkg on the slower system without doing builds there.

It is also possible to set up to have the fast system
be used as a remote source of the packages, much like
FreeBSD servers. But I've never done such. Based on
what you have done to publish for folks to look at
when they are helping, you might (mostly?) already
have that set up, other than pointing package to
the right URL on the slower machine.
End Side Note.

Intersting. I'm unable to see a:

/usr/local/poudriere/poudriere-system/etc/malloc.conf

via what you have published. But I've no clue if such
an odd symbolic link would be expected to show up.

The steps in question for my point are (from your
http://www.zefox.org/~bob/readme ):

# cd /usr/src
# make installworld DESTDIR=3D/usr/local/poudriere/poudriere-system =
DB_FROM_SRC=3D1
# make distrib-dirs DESTDIR=3D/usr/local/poudriere/poudriere-system =
DB_FROM_SRC=3D1
# make distribution DESTDIR=3D/usr/local/poudriere/poudriere-system =
DB_FROM_SRC=3D1

Your:

cd /usr/local/poudriere
# poudriere ports -c -m null -M /usr/ports
# poudriere jail -c -j main -m null -M =
/usr/local/poudriere/poudriere-system -S /usr/src -v 14.0-CURRENT

leaves /usr/ports/ and /usr/src/ automatically bound to
the most recent content from the system.

But the installworld related material is not automatic.
(And poudriere should not point at the live system's
own materials for such: during operation it temporarily
changes some things in the system it is pointed at.)

Okay. I've always used poudriere-devel . No reason that you
should but now I know that we can have some distinctions
for poudriere itself for recent functionality.

That is part of it. I have:

# find /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/ -print
/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/
/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf
/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/custom.conf

# more /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/custom.conf=20
custom: {
        url: =
"file:///usr/local/poudriere/data/packages/13_0R-CA72-default",
        enabled: yes,
}

The file:// prefix is URL notation and the rest is the directory path,
including its leading / . So, for your context:

custom: {
        url: "file:///usr/local/poudriere/data/packages/main-default",
        enabled: yes,
}

I'll note that the default for remote use of the
FreeBSD servers looks like:

# more /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf=20
# $FreeBSD$
#
# To disable this repository, instead of modifying or removing this =
file,
# create a /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf file:
#
#   mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos
#   echo "FreeBSD: { enabled: no }" > =
/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf
#

FreeBSD: {
  url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/quarterly",
  mirror_type: "srv",
  signature_type: "fingerprints",
  fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
  enabled: yes
}

So something somewhat similar likely could be used in
/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/custom.conf to use a faster
machine's packages via a slower machine's pkg, without
coying over the directory tree that contains the
respository.

With an appropriate /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/custom.conf you
should be able to use pkg normally.

The pkg install -r installs more than needed and not in a way
that pkg autoremove would clean up. When you get pkg working
with /usr/local/poudriere/data/packages/main-default/ material,
you might want to do a round of deleting the installs and
then only explicitly installing the things that you directly
want to use. The rest needed at run-time should automatically
install, but in a way that would allow for a later autoremove
to work for things that are no longer being used after an
update.
