I have loaded the module on ampere1 and ampere2 and added 
linux64_load="YES" to their /boot/loader.conf files.  I have also done 
this on the new ampere3 machine portmgr hasn't taken into production yet 
(I only installed that one yesterday).

If that's all it takes, it should be picked up in the next build.  If 
poudriere needs to be taught something ... that's really a portmgr task.
