nope. jack-transport won't slave to anything.

The other way' round is a possibility. You can create Midi-clock or
midi-timecode from jack-transport (maybe your atari can slave to that).

Easiest way is using ardour, but there are also some commandline tools
floating around:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/jackmtc/
https://ltcsmpte.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ltcsmpte/ltc2amidi/trunk/

There was a thread "JACK and SMPTE" on the Linux-Audio-Dev mailing list
May 2012 about this.

Cheers!
