In this situation I like it to mount the /usr/ports via nullfs in my 
Jail Directory and build the Port directly in the Jail. However you'll 
have to have a more or less complete system (at least gcc + all needet 
build dependencies) in the Jail. As a plus you don't have to worry about 
package registrations and stuff like this, but I'm just another newbie 
so probally somebody will come up with another and better way ;)
