I can get the midisport to show Midi Beat CLock, but not MTC. I have it checked on in the session setup window, the interface is recognized in the MIDI Setup page and the session is set 'online'. Any ideas? I know that I can do this with a Digi SYNC I/O, but I'm not looking to spend that kind of coin to get this done.

Any help would be, well, help.

Thanks.

All you need to do is go into Logic MIDI Song Preferences and set the MTC to output via your M-Audio MIDI interface and the specific MIDI wire used. This will send MTC down the MIDI wire to your PT interface which should be set to read MTC. Beat clock is strictly tempo related and not worthy for a good lock. MTC will work the best. You don't need a SYNC I/O or a USD.
