Paul, I don't understand that last bit.  Are you saying that "yes, it
would be easier to port JACK instead of many apps," or that "Ha! JACK
isn't all there yet."  Or both?

So I could port ALSA-lib to OS X or CoreAudio to Linux?  Somehow, writing
a driver for JACK seems easier.

Was JACK intended to be Linux only?  It might be nice to share it with the
BSD folks.  And from there it isn't too much of a stretch to OS X.  (I'm
not considering latency issues on other platforms)
