Hey Jonathan,
jack_alias <portname> <alias>
You'll need to use
jack_lsp -A
to see the aliases, but jack_connect accepts them automatically. The original portnames
will still be visible!

Mr. Silvain, I thank you very much! Do you happen to know if *both*
sets of names then become valid with Jack?

Yes they will be. Check jack_lsp -A and
you can see already one alias for each system port (ports corresponding to your audio
interface. Namely the alsa_pcm ports. But you can give any name, that you wish:
jack_alias system:capture_1 funny_thing:get_sound
jack_alias client:out_0 xyz:play_right
...

The goal is to make my synth box able to plug-and-play two or three diffferent audio
interfaces. Right now I have to re"wire" the Jackd connections every time I
switch audio interface, and the current plan is to eliminate that using jackd port
aliases.

whether there is a way or not, the goal is misguided. what is your actual goal?

It seems that you are right again -- somehow my "wires" work across
hardware changes, even though the names of the ports are very different,
I have been trying between Behringer FCA202 firewire and Prosonus USB.
Are there "hidden" jackd port names or other default designations
(something like "default output port #0 and #1") which make this work so
nicely?

we deliberately designed JACK to use generic names like "system:playback_1"
precisely to avoid the first-level dependence on device names and
architecture.
the new metadata API, which only exists in jack1 and is not really used by
any applications yet, is there to solve second-level problems.
whether there is a way or not, the goal is misguided. what is your
actual goal?
