Don't set default gateways in jails.
You can use something like this

ipfw add <no> divert natd all from any to any via <external_iface>
(...) -- rules to allow nated packets

to pass packets from jails.
To allow traffic from outside to your server on private address you can try:

ipfw add <no> fwd <server_addr> <protocol> from any to
		<external_iface_addr> <port_no> in recv <external_iface>

or ipfw divert with another natd process.

It's possible to configure lo1, lo2 ... interfaces with diffrent addreses
(with pseudo-device loop <no> in kernel config file).
I've described FreeBSD 4.x.
