I made search before posting and it also seems a good directoin to take.

That will be alright for experimenting FreeBSD and learning.
Will I be able to jail a FreeBSD within a PC-BSD host?

Mmmh, even on Linux I dont really like VirtualBox. I'd rather KVM.

According to http://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/Xen, I think I could be 
able to use Xen for learning purpose.

I used some Xen 3.0.x on Linux a long time ago then switched to KVM.

What about http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/BSD?
Some users in here?
It's just to use a PCBSD as host, then virtualize some Linuxes or 
Windows for presentation purposes (not production).

The FreeBSDs will be "jailed".

Thank you.
