X server -- no, not one of the usual X servers that will drive a locally attached display. You'ld need the ability to dedicate a vty to the jail(8), which would be very handy, but is not currently possible. You should be able to run something like vnc, which provides an X server you can connect to over a network via the vnc protocols. A window manager on the other hand is just another X application, and you can certainly run it anywhere you can pop up a window onto a remote display.
