You can simply extract "base" from any official distribution into a target
jail folder/dir && you're good to go! :)

EXAMPLE from freebsd memstick

# mount /dev/da1s2a /mnt/

# cp -p /mnt/usr/freebsd-dist/base.txz /place/to/jaildir
# cd /place/to/jaildir
# tar xvJf base.txz && rm base.txz

DONE! :)

you could also copy and use kernel.txz if you needed to
do anything kernel related.
