You can't just run 490.status-pkg-changes directly in your jail?

Try this patch:

lucid-nonsense:/tmp:% diff -u 490.status-pkg-changes{.orig,}
--- 490.status-pkg-changes.orig	2013-07-20 13:43:44.306303775 +0100
+++ 490.status-pkg-changes	2013-07-20 13:44:42.055327506 +0100
@@ -10,7 +10,7 @@

 case "$daily_status_pkg_changes_enable" in
 	[Yy][Ee][Ss])
-	pkgcmd=3D/usr/local/sbin/pkg
+	pkgcmd=3D/usr/local/sbin/pkg $daily_status_pkg_changes_flags

 	echo
 	echo 'Changes in installed packages:'

Then add something like the following to /etc/periodic.conf:

daily_status_pkg_changes_flags=3D'-j jailname'

Of course, this only lets you monitor changes in one jail at a time.
You can cover more by copying the script and changing its name eg.

sed -e 's/daily_status_pkg_changes/daily_status_pkg_changes2/g' \
    < 490.status-pkg-changes > 490.status-pkg-changes2

Then add appropriate "daily_status_pkg_changes2_flags=3D'-j otherjail'"
settings to periodic.conf

	Cheers,

	Matthew
