There is such a module, namely:
	pulseaudio-module-jack

I've been running jackd successfully along with pulseaudio, though with
some xrun problems.  In order to avoid xruns, jackd needs a whole lot of
frames and periods, namely:
	4096 frames, 4 periods
	341 msec latency
and a kernel rebuilt to be preemtable.

But now jackd seems to be running OK.
