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.

"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)
