Yes it can.  If you use the svn method when creating a jail you can
chose any arbitrary source branch from the svn repository and then you
can specify any desired svn revision on that branch when you update the
jail.   You would probably want to use this method when building ports
for 12.0-CURRENT rather than creating the jail using a 12.0-CURRENT
snapshot.
