IMHO the ports collection should provide and use prebuilt packages of compilers (LLVM, GCC, Rust, etc.) built from the FreeBSD packages builder, and ports framework (possibly also the base system) should be changed to use prebuilt packages by default, unless a) user requested to build everything from source, or b) no binary package is available for the platform combination, like a Tier-2 platform. The source ports for compilers should have all optimizations (like PGO, LTO, etc.) enabled by default, and require reasonably modern (perhaps newer than Sandy Bridge) processor features by default.
It has this ability. If you set PACKAGE_FETCH_BLACKLIST, it will never download pkgs for the pkgname globs listed. If you set PACKAGE_FETCH_WHITELIST, it will download pkgs for only those pkgname globs listed. The suggested value in poudriere.conf is even "gcc* rust llvm*".
