I don't believe it would be neccessary to install the 'compat 4.x'
libraries on the 5.x host box, as those libraries are already in the
jailed 4.x environment.

If you were to upgrade the jailed 4.x environment to 5.x, then you
would need to add the 'compat 4.x' libraries until you update all the
ports in the jailed environment.
