Yes, but IIRC, Jack is also callback based *) and that is the key in my
argument. Doable but non-trivial changes are needed. That requires
someone with the motivation and hardware to do it.
This is not meant to be an excuse why ham radio software is lacking
from OSX (and I don't even know if it really is), just a possible
explanation why at least some soundcard based Linux ham radio programs
are not trivial to port to OSX.
*) I might be mistaking here as well. I remember taking a look at
Jack as well, exactly because it was portable between Linux and OSX.
But IIRC, it too would have required the same architecture change.
