Yes, it does use the same kernel.  If you read the jail(8)
man page, it discusses setting up a jail on a 4.x system.
The first section contains

     This example shows how to setup a jail directory tree containing an
     entire FreeBSD distribution:

     D=/here/is/the/jail
     cd /usr/src
     mkdir -p $D
     make world DESTDIR=$D
     cd etc
     make distribution DESTDIR=$D
     cd $D/dev
     sh MAKEDEV jail
     cd $D
     ln -sf dev/null kernel

Clearly, this doesn't work on a 5.0 system if you want to
set up a 4.7 jail.
