Have you tested something like this:

/etc/fstab:
/dev/da0	/mnt	ufs	rw	0	0

zfs create -o mountpoint=/mnt/foo pool/foo

This is bascially the opposite. Here /etc/fstab must be mounted before
'zfs mount -a' is called.

All in all if you need to mount file systems for your jails use
/etc/fstab.<jailname>. This way rc.d/jail will mount needed file systems
when you start jail.
