As you suggested, I got Jack starting with the command jackstart -R -d alsa -d hw -r 44100. When doing this I got:
[lspmc@d68h203 lspmc]$ jackstart -R -d alsa -d hw -r 44100 back from read, ret = 1 errno == Success jackd 0.91.1 Copyright 2001-2003 Paul Davis and others. jackd comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; see the file COPYING for details

Sounds good, jack is up and running (at least it is not complaining :-)
However there was no prompt given after to put the command pd -jack.
Well, open another terminal and execute pd from there. Jack "uses" the terminal until you stop it (with <ctrl>-c).
qjackctl did not work:
[lspmc@d68h203 lspmc]$ qjackct1 bash: qjackct1: command not found [lspmc@d68h203 lspmc]$
Do you have it installed? ("rpm -q qjackctl" to see if it is there). If it is installed be careful, the last character is the letter "l", not the number "1" (as in the command line you copied).
I also removed the OSS drivers you suggested and my files now look like this:
[lspmc@d68h203 lspmc]$ /sbin/lsmod
The modules seem to be fine to my eyes... -- Fernando
