No, JACK-MIDI is a protocol in software.

There are bridges to hardware which go connect either via ALSA-sequencer
or raw-ALSA interface to the MIDI hardware.

JACKd itself includes those bridges (-Xseq, -Rraw) and there are also
stand-alone apps (fi a2jmidi_bridge, a2jmidid,..) which can do the same.
