Not very likely, unfortunately.  The ties between userspace and the kernel
are pretty tight on FreeBSD systems.

Side note: I've built Linux-native jails, starting with extracting a Gentoo
"stage 1" tarball into an empty directory.  It's kind of nice to be able to
offer support virtual Linux systems that are 99% compatible with the real
thing.
