just to be counterinformative, but jack runs on osx, as can found here: 
http://www.jackosx.com/

i think it's somewhat a shame actually, as Jack really is a selling 
point for linux audio in many ways.

i have, however, successfully used this to route and record audio 
between sound studio and other osx apps, and it's no more complicated to 
configure than qjackctl on linux.

also, sooperlooper has apparently been compiled for osx, and will have 
packages available as of the jackosx 0.6 release, whenever that might 
arrive.  similarly, a beta image of ardour for osx is floating around 
somewhere.

of course, all of these 'just work' under linux, but progress is being 
made in osx free and open source audio software...
