Yep something similar exists. Check out the following 2 links:
Send MTC from JACK transport:
http://www.teuton.org/~gabriel/jack_midi_clock/
Live JACK transport "adjustment": http://www.teuton.org/~gabriel/InConcert/

I'm not the author of either project, and have not tried either project. I
belive they are currently under development, but I'd reccomend at least
checking out the sources, and chatting to the -dev.

Cheers, -Harry
