Is it possible to copy a poudriere jail to another computer?

Can I do this by copying files in /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/jails from one computer to the other?
 
Answer: Yes it is possible. But if you can do that cannot be said for sure. You could if you meet the requirements needed for this task.

Disclaimer: You might not be satisfied with that answer.
Hint: Your art of asking questions still has room for improvement.
 
Why? They're really easy to create from scratch. I don't even bother to back them up. Also note that if you use ZFS (which I recommend for Poudriere) the jails are ZFS datasets. So you could easily snapshot them and use zfs send ... | zfs receive ....

Code: 
root@molly:~ # zfs list | grep poudriere
