There is a sysctl for chflags:

security.jail.param.allow.chflags

and you can check if you have that access from within the jail via:

security.jail.chflags_allowed

I have not tried to do what you're attempting before simply because I've
very rarely run 32bit jails on 64bit hosts. Hopefully this gets you in
the right direction.
