It's probably busy compressing the package. Try setting PKG_NOCOMPRESS=1 in 
/etc/make.conf (works ok when just building a package with make, didn't test 
with poudriere[0]). When creating packages, the current compression algorithm 
can't take advantage of multiple cores, so it's kind of a bottleneck on modern 
machines.
