Yes you can. Another option is to use read only nullfs mounts for e.g. /usr,
/lib, /sbin/ /bin to populate the jail. That will cost you no HDD space at all.
The ezjail port, allready mentioned, can more or less automate this.

Rather, it's not possible to use inside a standard (non-vimage) jail. There's
only one network stack.
