I almost got this working in the 4.X days.  I have no idea if it's
easier or harder to do in 6.X, or even possible.

The trick is that all the quota stuff has to be managed from the host
system.  The jail is simply a victim of the quotas.  It means you
have to have all the jail users replicated on the host, and the
quotas configured on the host.

Unfortunately, I don't remember any of the gory details.
