Yes, probably you will have to do so.

I have to admit, that I haven't used ccache so far, thus I don't know if 
it's just a wrapper before any GCC version or it is linked strictly or a 
specific version. If you compile ccache in each jail and set up the 
environment variables precisely (CC, CFLAGS, whatever you need), you 
must succeed.
As for hardlinks, I don't know what to except in general, if you have to 
pull in something to a jail, I recommend nullmounting. This can easily 
be done with DESTDIR_MOUNT_LIST, take a look at the documentation of 
bsd.destdir.mk.
