This might not be exactly what you're looking for, but I've
been using union mounts for jails with great success.

Note that "union mounts" is something different than unionfs
(the former is the "-o union" option to the mount(8) command),
but they serve very similar purposes.

Maybe it is of use for you, too.  YMMV.
