This can be (mostly) made to work.

Mount the filesystem on the host machine with quotas enabled,
pointing to a file reachable by the jail.  Example /etc/fstabs:

/dev/da0s1d     /JAIL_NAME/home             ufs     rw,nosuid,nodev,userquota=/JAIL_NAME/usr/quotas/JAIL_NAME.home   2       2

In the jail, use

/dev/da0s1d     /home             ufs     rw,nosuid,nodev,userquota=/usr/quotas/JAIL_NAME.home,noauto   2       2

Remember that you only have a single namespace (numberspace?) for
UIDs so do not re-use them in other jails.
