You can installworld directly from host:

host# setenv D /usr/local/jail/JAILNAME
host# /etc/rc.d/jail stop JAILNAME
host# cd /usr/src
host# make installworld DESTDIR=$D
host# /etc/rc.d/jail start JAILNAME


Don't forget all other mergemaster related steps and the rest of the
things mentioned in /usr/src/Makefile.


Hopefully this points into the right direction.


Regards,
Mikhail.
