what are you talking about? any interface that has a CoreAudio driver will work with Ardour+JACK on OS X. the RME is just such an interface. what makes you believe it does not work.

I haven't been able to get it to work. I was trying before with an earlier version of Ardour, which could open with JACK. the problem I was having was how to figure out how to use jack alongside the RME software. I couldn't see how to get audio happening. Honestly, it most likely stems from me not understanding JACK. then when trying again and reading the Ardour manual it mentions the HDSP, and the FIREFACE I believe does not use this so I was wondering if there was not a workaround or if I'm not interfacing correctly.

i'm afraid i don't really understand anything about the problem you are having. JACK starts up on OSX and uses the CoreAudio device that you select. After that, Ardour does all of its audio I/O via JACK, so it doesn't interact with CoreAudio or the hardware in any direct way. You simply need to make sure that when you start JACK, you configure it to use the right CoreAudio device. Depending on how you are starting JACK (from a terminal, from JackPilot, from QJackctl, or from the "Audio Setup" tab of recent versions of ardour's new session dialog), this may be directly selectable from a list, or you may have to use Applications -> Utilities -> Audio/MIDI setup to define the default CoreAudio device.

Is this problem not related to this one?

I am going to resolve this issue as it is not related to Ardour. If this is still an issue, jump on IRC on either the #ardour or #ardour-osx channels and I will walk you through setting up Jack to work correctly with your FireFace800, I have seen other bug reports using that exact interface so there should be no reason to my knowledge it should not work.
