I don't think it's even a question of porting JACK, as it definitely 
has a working OS/X CoreAudio port already.  It may just be a 
packaging matter.

Way back when I knew nothing at all about audio software (i.e. about 
two years ago), Richard did the first implementation of LADSPA 
effects plugins in Rosegarden.  At the time I was quite unfamiliar 
with what an effects plugin did, and my first reaction on finding out 
was simple disappointment that there was no way to apply them to MIDI 
output.  Without that, I hardly saw the point of LADSPA support in 
Rosegarden at all.

Of course, the reason I knew nothing about effects plugins was related 
to the fact that I had no particular need for audio recording and 
playback, so it's not surprising that I saw it as next to useless.  
Richard, obviously, saw audio record/playback with plugins as a vital 
thing whose absence had been preventing him from using Rosegarden 
himself.

It's not VST vs non-VST so much as having a workable armoury of synths 
of any sort.  There just aren't enough DSSI ones yet.  A good drum 
synth (comparable to something like the freebie Drumatic VST) is 
number one on my personal wishlist.
