I agree, ZFS likely has something to replace my use of nullfs. I used it
previously to do the following using only UFS filesystems:

Basically, I have a ton of jails and each jail mounts a shared 'tmp',
and possibly unshared 'pkg' 'work' 'distfiles' and 'ports'
directories:

  /storage/jails/8.0/x86_64/mk4/pkg   /jail/8.0-amd64-mk4/pkg        nullfs rw
  /storage/jails/8.0/x86_64/mk4/work  /jail/8.0-amd64-mk4/work       nullfs rw
  /storage/distfiles                  /jail/8.0-amd64-mk4/distfiles  nullfs rw
  /storage/ports                      /jail/8.0-amd64-mk4/ports      nullfs ro
  /storage/shared_tmp                 /jail/8.0-amd64-mk4/shared_tmp nullfs rw
