That's not a good idea, there are too many opportunities for conflicts
(software that creates sockets and state directories with non-randomized
names in /tmp) and might even allow a compromised jail to compromise the
others.

zfs set mountpoint=/jail/8.0-amd64-mk4 storage/jails/8.0/x86_64/mk4

Children of storage/jails/8.0/x86_64/mk4 will inherit this property, so
they will automatically appear where you expect; alternatively, you can
set the mountpoint property for each individual fileset.
