The easiest way is to mount host's /usr/ports in to jailed system:

mount -t nullfs /usr/ports /jail/www/usr/ports

then you can execute what ever command in your jail by jexec command 
with JID of given jail:

jexec 1 portmaster www/apache22

Or you can enter the jail

jexec 1 tcsh

and then you can do same steps like in any non jailed system:

cd /usr/ports/www/apache22
make install clean
