You can replace those last two lines with:

mergemaster -i -A i386 -D /path-to-jail

In previous incarnations mergemaster was less than completely
effective *cough* in cross-build applications, but thanks to prodding
from Sam and help from Ruslan it works now (where "now" means -current
and 7-stable after the 7.1 release).
