Sometimes I use /var, as this is the standard embraced by OpenBSD.  

I don't know of any real standard though.

The best you're going to find I think is the FHS at:
http://www.pathname.com/fhs/2.2/

The chroot manpage doesn't offer any suggestions.

I know a lot of people aren't, but I'm a fan of /opt.  On large scale
implementations I like using /opt or something /opt-like to contain
applications within their own directories (chrooted or not).
