Nope. For info, the question was once asked on the FreeBSD forum

Jails are not available on OSX.

The closest alternative with a similar application for security available would be chroot.

The differences, benefits and drawbacks of chroot vs. jail can fill days worth of discussion / flamewars. Depending on what you try to accomplish, chroots may however be a viable alternative.
