As it stands, many ports can be installed into a jail from the host machine by setting: PKG_DBDIR, PORT_DBDIR, X11BASE, LOCALBASE, LINUXBASE, MANPREFIX, PREFIX, LDCONFIG, and __MAKE_CONF. As far as I know, this leaves two problems. The first problem is that scripts which check for and create users (and change ownership on files/directories) aren't currently setup to do so with respect to a jailed environment. The second problem is that it's all quite obscure. As such, I'm wondering if there would be support for the addition of a JAILBASE variable, which would correctly set the aforementioned variables, and more importantly would handle user/group/file ownership issues correctly with respect to the jail.
