This will delegate a dataset and its children to the given jail upon jail startup. The dataset will be unavailable to the host. Tested on FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE.

/etc/jail.conf:
<code brush="bash">
testnas {
  ...
  enforce_statfs = 1;
  allow.mount;
  allow.mount.zfs;
  exec.prestart = "${base}/jailds ${name} testnas &";
}
</code>

jailds:
<code brush="bash">
#!/bin/sh -e

jail_getid() {
  [ "${1}" ] || return 1
  jls -j "${1}" 2>/dev/null | grep -v '^[[:space:]]*JID' | while read jid ip host path
  do
    echo "${jid}" && break
  done
}

jail="${1}"

  echo "Usage: jailds <jailname> <dataset>" >&2
  exit 1
}
