I usually follow this procedure (on the host system, not inside the jail):

cd /usr/ports/<someport>
make
mount_null /usr/ports /jails/jailX/usr/ports
chroot /jails/jailX
cd /usr/ports/<someport>
make install
exit
mount_null /usr/ports /jails/jailY/usr/ports
chroot /jails/jailY
... etcetera

So I only have to compile once.

cheers,
Ruben
