I may be mistaken, but I think it's the other way around: portaudio-v19
can talk to jack. I can't think of a reason you would want to run jack
on top of portaudio, even if it were possible.

portaudio-v18 does not have jack support, so audacity must be configured
with --with-portaudio=v19 if you want to use it with jack. Some fixes to
portaudio-v19's jack support don't appear to be in the copy distributed
with the audacity source code, so it's best to replace that dir with the
latest snapshot before building.
