What version of jack did you end up installing? I’m having the same problem myself on OS X 10.12.
Pd works fine with jack now after I installed the JackOSX package from IOhannes' second link. The package apparently installs (along a lot of other stuff) something called Jackmp.framework, which is what Pd is looking for. Also, it installs a jackd binary to /usr/local/bin. Interestingly, once the framework is installed, I can replace the jackd binary by the one provided by homebrew or by a self-compiled one from the jack2 [1] repository and Pd (and other software) seem still to work fine.
Since it doesn't seem to be a technical necessity, I believe it would be good if Pd would also connect to a jackd that comes without Jackmp.framework, as Dan suggested.
