scponly does not support FreeBSD jails.

Depends on what you mean with that. scponly uses the normal chroot()
system call. If you mean the chroot *command*, that only works for root.
You need a SUID executable that calls chroot(). See above...

Apart from that, scponlyc does a few nice things chroot (the command)
does not do. Read the manpage.
