As Jonatan Liljedahl noted, a new bit in JackPortFlags would suffice.

Backward compatibility (*mumble*) would be maintained by making ports'
default autoconnect bit negative; ie, having to set JackPortAutoconnect
to enable autoconnecting rather than set JackPortNoAutoconnect to
disable.  Alas, this means the client author once again has to do
something.
