Great. Here is what I did:

sorb# mkdir -p /usr/jails/vm1
sorb# cd /usr/src
sorb# setenv D /usr/jails/vm1
sorb# make installworld DESTDIR=$D
sorb# make distribution DESTDIR=$D
sorb# cat >> /etc/rc.conf

jail_enable="YES"
jail_list="vm1"
jail_vm1_rootdir="/usr/jails/vm1"
jail_vm1_hostname="vm1.localdomain"
jail_vm1_ip="192.168.0.11"
jail_vm1_interface="lnc0"
jail_vm1_devfs_enable="YES"
jail_vm1_devfs_ruleset="vm1_ruleset"

^D
sorb#mount -t devfs devfs $D /dev
sorb# /etc/rc.d/jail start vm1
Configuring jails:.
Starting jails:ifconfig: interface lnc0 does not exist
 vm1.localdomain.

See, I do not understand how this works. If I use a real physical 
interface then it works:

sorb# ifconfig
re0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
    
options=389b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,WOL_UCAST,WOL_MCAST,WOL_MAGIC>
    ether 00:1a:4d:7b:cf:d6
    inet X.X.X.X netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast X.X.X.255
    inet 192.168.0.11 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast 192.168.0.11
    media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
    status: active

where X.X.X.X is my public internet IP address. But I do not like this. 
I do not want to expose my jail's private IP address to the internet. Am 
I too paranoid? Should I just add rules like

ipfw add 1000 allow all from X.X.X.X to 192.168.0.11
ipfw add 1001 allow all from 192.168.0.11 to X.X.X.X
ipfw add 1002 deny all from any to 192.168.0.11
ipfw add 1003 deny all from 192.168.0.11 to any

and be happy? Or would it be better to create a virtual ethernet 
interface for my jails? Somehow?

I'm using ipfw. I think I'll use natd+divert on the host.

Thank you very much! I feel I'm over the hard part. :-)
