Yes, there are some rough edges.  I'm starting to work on them right now. :)

There is a patch doing that for FreeBSD 4.x.  However while interesting
it is not the way to go.  You don't want to have multiple parallel stacks
but just multiple routing tables and interface groups one per jail.  This
gives you the same functionality as Cisco VRF but is far less intrusive
to the kernel.
