You need /bin/sh in each jail for pkg to be able to workout what ${ABI} should be. You need /var/db/pkg and /var/cache/pkg available and writable in the jail / chroot (ie. relative to the chroot or root of the jail) That's basically it. You might run into problems running some package scripts if you're trying to manage a chroot designed for a very different CPU arch / OS version than your system is running: this is something we haven't really put much thought into yet.
