Ya know, I probably get away with using jackd-realtime as non-root 
because I've added the realcap module to my kernel and start that 
module giving realtime permission to users belonging to the "audio" 
group.  Of course, I added myself to the "audio" group.  This works 
very nicely.  There's some stuff in the realtime FAQs about how to 
deal with the realcap module.  FWIW, I did all this on Mandrake 10.1 
starting with the 2.6.7 multimedia kernel source RPM from the 
contribs.

Cheers....
