The way you build a jail is to have /usr/ports and /usr/local be on the jail not 
on the base. The later is by default. If you log into the base system and look 
at the file tree you can see how you are set up. I use exjail that provides an 
option for this and I look at this so rarely I 're-learn' what I need each time. 
The jail an ezjail man pages are very well done.
