I could imagine a 'bridge' between SMPTE and Jack: you could have a Jack
timebase client broadcasting an SMPTE track, or a Jack timebase master 
listening to an SMPTE track and keeping the Jack applications in sync with
it.

jackctlmmc.sf.net seems to do something similar for some MIDI timing. 


Beware I might be talking rubbish here though, I've never actually used 
SMPTE nor MMC :)
