stow creates links in /usr/local to everything in /opt/jack-version (given
the command quoted below).
depending on how nicely jack plays some other settings might be required
(or stow might be completely useless), PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH or ld config
(as you suggest) etc. might have to be changed/performed.
sorry for top quote but web interface for exchange does not do '>' (as far
as I know).

I don't know what stow does, but in case Jack installs a shared library
(I believe it does), you might have to add that /opt/... path to
/etc/ld.so.conf and, no matter where you install it, you will have to do
ldconfig (as root).
Just my 0,02 nitpicks,
