login.conf sets rlimit; but root ignores them, so that isn't of much use.
(I'm not 100% sure, you can give it a try)

You can also try sysctl security.bsd.suser_enabled=0; but that will also
disable root outside the jail.
Patching the kernel to ignore root in jails is not very hard I think.
Writing that, it might also be easy to patch the kernel so that
root-in-jail doesn't override rlimits.
