The downside of this approach is that the port needs to be installed on the host system to build the package. If you have multiple virtual host jails which are basicly identical in configuration; you might want to consider setting up one to build the packages in instead of building them on the host system.

Re: port install to jail root from host system
The jail does not run ssh, nor any other daemons. All it will run is apache once it is installed. It's not a full jail built from /usr/src. It'll only have what's necessary to run apache. And apache will be the only process called from the jail command. | By Marc G.

I realise apache is dependant on various libraries that may not be in the jail, but these dependancies I will resolve manually. It actually works quite well if you use mount_null(8) to re-mount your /usr/ports tree inside the jail, and set the WRKDIRPREFIX environment variable to something like /usr/obj so that you don't actually write into the /usr/ports tree while compiling. A line something like: /usr/ports /jail/192.168.0.2/usr/ports null rw 0 0 in /etc/fstab in the host system should do the trick nicely. That way, you can just ssh(1) into your jailed system and manage ports/packages exactly as you do in the host system. This will also avoid, in a trivially simple way, problems caused by corrupting the /var/db/pkg database in the host system.
