As discussed previously, I am keen to integrate log4j Chainsaw v2 and VFS,
to take advantage of VFS's features of transparency of where the files are
located. We're also using Java Web Start as a basis for deploy. To recap a
previous email, Web start requires that all jars used by the app are signed,
and all jars must be accessed during launched from a single code-base url
for security reasons (as far as I can tell from reading).

Fine, I can do that for all the Apache ones, but what do I do for the
external ones like JSch ?(listed here
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/sandbox/vfs/download.html).

Theoretically I could download those jars, sign 'em, and upload them to the
apache servers where the other jars are... Except... I'm/We are not allowed
to host external jars on the Apache servers from what I've heard/read
before. (licensing issues).  Is that right?

The ASF will not distribute GPLed or LGPLed code. This is a pretty important rule. In case of breach, the board is likely to fire first and talk later. Hosting BSD licensed code is OK.
