It could work. It can also easily break things with newer kernel too, I can remember many cases.
/sbin/ipfw, ps, ifconfig, netstat, top, killall and some important others are not guaranteed to run with newer kernel.
I still run FreeBSD 4.11-STABLE inside 11.2-STABLE jail and that's why I know this.

OO. We could still add the whole bunch of needed .h files from /usr/src/sys/ there.
