At first I don't necessarily recommend it. But you can use following
steps.

1. Clone src repository somewhere you prefer

git clone https://git.freebsd.org/src.git /somewhere/you/want/to/chechout

2. Build poudriere jail with source tree checked out at step 1

poudriere jail -c jailname -m src=/somewhere/you/want/to/chechout -b

Then you can update jail to any commit hash with following command.

git -C /somewhere/you/want/to/chechout checkout (hash value you want to use)

poudriere jail -u -j jailname -b
