i was looking for something along these lines a few years ago. here's a discussion

ltcsmpte is here:
http://ltcsmpte.sourceforge.net/
if you look at the svn repository, you'll see jltc, which is an example jack app to
read LTC and display SMPTE (and, i think, control JACK transport). i haven't recently
needed any such thing, so i'm not sure what the current usability of this tool is.
it's likely that there's "some assembly required"!
i don't know of anything else under linux for this sort of thing.
cheers!

I'll be soing a field recording next week for
a DVD music production. Is
it possible to record an SMPTE timecode on a spare track? I've found some
references on the web to something called LTC, which apparently is SMPTE
encoded thru an audio codec.
Is there any support in Ardour that would use this information to make
post-production easier?
Ardour understands only timecode as MTC (MIDI Timecode) : same data,
different format.
There are a couple of small tools around that will accept LTC and
function as the JACK time master.
Someone else and/or google will have to come up with the names.
