It looks like the package you are trying to install is not in the directory
that pkg is running from within the jail. Either they are on the host
filesystem but not passed through to the jail, or pkg runs from a different
directory within the jail.

If you have your host system ports directory nullfs mounted inside the jail
also, this might be fixed by specifying the absolute path of the package.

# pkg -j 1 add /usr/ports/packages/All/apache22-2.2.31_1.txz
/usr/ports/packages/All/apr-1.5.2.1.5.4.txz

Check if your ports tree has the same directory inside the jail, and
contains these files.

Good luck!
