Actually, yes.

See https://github.com/jackaudio/jack1/blob/master/libjack/client.c#L868

You can create your own jackdrc file and set the env var 'JACK_RC_FILE' 
to that before calling jack_client_open.
That way if jack is not running yet, the jackd command will be read from 
that file instead of the default ~/.jackdrc.
