Yes, security packages get installed to the relevant location in / :-)

I use a plist along the lines of this:

@cwd /
@srcdir /mnt/jail-4.3
@option preserve
kernel.GENERIC
modules/procfs.ko
modules/linprocfs.ko

I build and install the patched files in a jail, then package them up
from outside it.
