There is a way, though not in the jail.conf file itself. When you run
"jail -c" it will start all of the jails in the file. But if you list
one or more jails on the command line, e.g. "jail -c jailA jailB", then
it will only start those jails.

That seems reasonable, but using a jail list in rc.conf may suffice.
