that really depend on how much you manually changed in the jail.

If you created all of the jail with jk_init and use jk_jailuser to add 
the user to the jail, it is pretty safe to assume that if you would 
re-create it with jk_init and call jk_jailuser again that would create 
the same jail.

A good trick to test: mv /jail /jail.old
jk_init /jail myjailconfig
jk_jailuser .......


it it does not work?:
rm -r /jail
mv /jail.old /jail
