I don't think so. On this 14-stable system, I first commented out the kmod
lines in /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf, then ran pkg update -f, then ran poudriere
with the lines enabling -b in poudriere.conf:

PACKAGE_FETCH_BRANCH=latest

# The branch will be appended to the URL:
PACKAGE_FETCH_URL=pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/\${ABI}

ran poudriere and still see

It makes no difference if -b functionality is set in poudriere.conf or 
the command line '-b latest'

I have also checked 'vim /usr/local/share/poudriere/common.sh +4505' and it has

             ${pkg_bin} update -f -r FreeBSD; then
