No, but there is a way to tell it not to connect to any ports. As an 
example, set up a jack to pulse bridge:
jack client name: pa-in
number of channels: 4 (default 2)
auto connect: No thank you

pactl load-module module-jack-source client_name=pa-in channels=4 connect=no

Before I do that, I normally do:

pactl unload-module module-jackdbus-detect

So that pulse doesn't do any auto stuff.

jack_connect will connect it to whatever you want
