I think you will not see jack as a flag. I had the same problem this morning for some reason. Check to make sure you have the jack flag in make.conf and make sure you are using the ~x86 version. For some reason it looked like the current stable version doesn't use jack, so I went to ~x86 and everything was fine. - Mark
