Simply cross-compiling them for transplanting into another system. I'd like to be able to do this for convenience, but I think I may settle into building things on each system -- it may be slower, but it'll allow me to help contribute to weeding out problems with completely self-hosted systems -- the time spent compiling is the least I can do to contribute. Thanks for the detailed response -- I appreciate the insight into the limitations of jails and why it's probably not appropriate for what I'm trying to accomplish.
