no, you still use alsa for jackd, but you compile audacity with 
portaudio19...or 18.
look, i am not sure now and can't remember, but just choose for audacity 
that protaudio, which is not a default ( i am pretty sure, it is 
portaudio19), and it will speak to jack. the audacity ports in qjack 
will be called 'portaudio-xyz (some numbers)'.

it works stable here.
