Assuming you are running 10.0-RELEASE on zfs and further assuming you
do not run multiple zpools, you already have your zpool set up.

You configure the $ZPOOL poudriere uses in
/usr/local/etc/poudriere.conf, which is extensively commented.

Then, poudriere jail -c <...> will create your zfs dataset for you. I
recommend to create datasets for packages like
zroot/poudriere/packages/10amd64, but this is not required.

Cheers,

Punctuation matters:
"Lets eat Grandma." or "Lets eat, Grandma." - Punctuation saves lives.
"A panda eats shoots and leaves." or "A panda eats, shoots, and
leaves." - Punctuation teaches proper biology.

"With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead." (RFC 1925)
