klick is a stand alone JACK client, which also sets the JACK tempo, VERY accurately from the audio clock/crystal. It also offers emphasized beats.
There are LADSPA plugins, e.g. the Clicktrack from Tim Goetze's CAPS suite. You can also combine oscillator plugins (sine or noise for sound and pulse for the timed gating).
There's a simple JACK metronome coming with the JACK server, never tried it though.
If you need anything really specific you can generate it with the synthesis language of your choice. Many of those offer time resolution in seconds or beats (csound, SuperCollider...).
