FreeBSD-11 Jails and PKI

If I want to make a binary application available to all jails do I put
it in /usr/jails/basejail/bin or somewhere else?  Or is this
impossible?

If possible then do such applications need to be statically linked?

Similarly, given that I wish to maintain a common repository of pki
keys and certificates that are shared between jails, do I place these
in or under /usr/jails/basejail/usr/share/openssl/? or somewhere else?
Or not at all and place them separately in each and every jail that
requires TLS?

The main issue I am dealing with is that we run a private PKI CA and
need to add our root certificates to the ca-bundle after each update
to  /usr/local/share/certs/ca-root-nss.crt.
