it occurs to me that the machine on which the jail is on is running 8.0

  Allowing to mount devfs inside hierarchical jails should work like
  the following:

  # jail -c allow.mount.devfs=1 allow.mount=1 enforce_statfs=1 children.max=10 
path=/ name=j1 persist
  # jexec j1 /bin/tcsh
  # mkdir /tmp/dev1
  # mount -t devfs devfs /tmp/dev1
  # jail -c allow.mount.devfs=1 allow.mount=1 enforce_statfs=1 path=/ name=j2 
persist
  # jexec j2 /bin/tcsh
  # mkdir /tmp/dev2
  # mount -t devfs devfs /tmp/dev2
