You are not the first one with this idea. You can easily use nullfs mount of directories from base system, but people mostly prefer independent directory with jail install shared by many jails. And sometimes somebody needs jails with modified binaries, so it is not possible to share theme with base system in all cases. There are many ways to get jails running without sources, it is up to you to choose one. Miroslav Lachman PS: there is freebsd-jail@freebsd.org mailinglist
