no.  the project has no opinion on what a "typical jail" might contain.

"minimal" is the minimal supported configuration for a multi-user UNIX
system, i.e. the packages that people need to install to bring up a
standard FreeBSD system and have things work as expected.

"minimal-jail" is "minimal" without software that doesn't work in jails.
dhclient obviously works in jails, but i ommitted it since i thought it
was extremely uncommon to use dhclient in a jail.  but if this is more
common than i thought, we can add it.
