This might be a very stupid idea but how about a jailfs.  Now I don't 
know all that much about filesystem design so bear with me.  How about 
something like this:

# ls /usr/jail
fulljail smalljail fulljail.conf smalljail.conf
# cd /usr/jail/fulljail
# ls
dev etc home
# cat ../fulljail.conf
allow-all read-only

ignore
	/dev
	/etc
	/usr/home

allow read-write
	/usr/ports/distfiles

# cd ../smalljail
# ls
# cat ../smalljail.conf
ignore-all

allow read-only
	/bin
	/usr/bin

allow read-write
	/usr/home

# cd /usr/jail
# jail /usr/jail/fulljail fulljail 127.0.0.1 /bin/sh /etc/rc
# jexec 1 ls
COPYRIGHT  boot compat  dist etc   lib      mnt   rescue  sbin   sys 
usr  bin cdrom  dev  entropy  home  libexec  proc  root  stand  tmp  var
# jail /usr/jail/smalljail smalljail 127.0.0.1 /bin/sh 
/home/myhome/specialtask.sh
# jexec 2 ls
bin usr home
#

SO the jail filesystem is configured at jail-creation time and uses the 
hosts files or jail files depending on the configuration.  Might have to 
pass the config file into the jail command.

As I said I am not an expert.  Mabye one of the experts could let me 
know what they think?
