I'll hazard an educated guess and say "no, for the time being".  Seq24 
uses ALSA for MIDI IO so the only way you could use JACK as a 
replacement would be to use bleeding edge JACK MIDI code that isn't 
available in almost any Linux distro yet.  Even then you'd still have to 
deal with getting MIDI out into the real world which is (presumably) 
still done with ALSA libraries even when using JACK.

The way to get seq24 working on FreeBSD would be to re-write the MIDI 
code to work with whatever library FreeBSD uses for MIDI IO.  I'm not 
very familiar with the seq24 code so I don't know how difficult that 
would be.  The current focus seems to be on using PortMidi for IO which 
doesn't support FreeBSD either.

Sorry, not very helpful I'm afraid.
