No, for kernel code development you need a real virtual machine monitor that runs a separate instance of the kernel. There is no point to use a zone/jail as you still have only one instance of the kernel and you gained exactly nothing.

The other nice thing about such containers is that changes in one VM, while possibly corrupting it, are not acknowledged by the rest of the system, giving you a complete sandbox mode.
