It actually works quite well if you use mount_null(8) to re-mount your
/usr/ports tree inside the jail, and set the WRKDIRPREFIX environment
variable to something like /usr/obj so that you don't actually write
into the /usr/ports tree while compiling.
A line something like:
/usr/ports /jail/192.168.0.2/usr/ports null rw 0 0
in /etc/fstab in the host system should do the trick nicely.
That way, you can just ssh(1) into your jailed system and manage
ports/packages exactly as you do in the host system. This will also
avoid, in a trivially simple way, problems caused by corrupting the
/var/db/pkg database in the host system.
Cheers,
Matthew
