I believe there is "chroot".
Possibly with a stackable (overlay/copy-on-write) filesystem:
http://www.unionfs.org/
http://aufs.sourceforge.net/
That means you can run a bunch of stuff and then just wipe out the
changes from the overlay point. I've played with unionfs on debian
etch and I think it would do everything you need (possibly even from
within a chroot) unless your needs involve a few particular things with
nfs, which is where the aufs "new hotness" comes in.
Unfortunately these are Linux-only, it seems. I would love to have a
_usable_ stacking filesystem on FreeBSD.
I thought they got unionfs working on FreeBSD 7.0, no? Or it's still broken?
