master.cf says to look at examples/chroot-setup and
there is a freebsd specific file. That's exactly what
I posted ealier. 
umask 022
mkdir /var/spool/postfix/etc
chmod 755 /var/spool/postfix/etc
cd /etc ; cp host.conf localtime services \
resolv.conf /var/spool/postfix/etc

It only prepair the directory for you with the needed
files. But you didn't answer how can the chrooting be
done after that, and how can I check if Postfix is
chrooted when doing so.

please provide more details/steps.

regards,
