Updating FreeBSD in jail

Depending if you're the root user or not -- (use sudo if not root user), (no need for sudo if root user). I usually just do
pkg update -f
pkg upgrade
This installs all upgrades that were installed through the package system
Ports can be upgraded a bunch of different way, however if you've installed portmaster, I just usually do
portsnap fetch extract
portsnap fetch update
portmaster -a
pkg update -f
pkg upgrade

No you can't. Even if upgrading the jails base system were supported you can't run a newer version of FreeBSD in a jail than what's running on the host.
The base OS and the jails share the same kernel. If you really wanted to run for example FreeBSD 11.0 you could install it through something like bhyve which is a hypervisor. Bhyve is like virtualbox but its a FreeBSD's native hypervisor. I have a few linux installs running through bhyve. Sorry I misunderstood the question.
