It's not so much 'need to run' as 'are running.' Jails don't have a
separate kernel instance like (eg) LVM. Everything runs under the same
kernel as the base system. You don't even need to install a kernel
image into a jailed filesystem, and when using something like
freebsd-update in a jail, just make the fairly obvious config file
tweak that tells it to ignore kernel updates.
Cheers,
Matthew
