it's possible to beatmatch on just about anything, even the notes of a melody if you know what to listen for.

most folk who spin breakbeat/jungle match almost totally on the highhats.

the highs are more transient (of a shorter duration) than bassbeats so you can actually match more accurately on them.

however, without paying attention to the bass phase on a 4/4 track, you'll end up with the subs not pumping like they should... bass hits can easily cancel (phase) eachother out. so it's important to listen to the full swath of the audio spectrum when beatmatching.. the full spectrum is important and you really shouldnt focus on one part of it.

dont worry about how, just practice. the how is all in your ears! do what sounds right, and what works for you...

That is how i beatmatch. I find it easier to hear the hi's as they are more crisp rather then the lows so i just beatmatch the snares until they are matched.
