no, it's not possible... the midi clock is sent by the port defined in the preferences, if you select another port as a midi out, it will only send notes...

you have to install a virtual midi port like midiyoke
http://www.midiox.com/index.htm?http:// ... /myoke.htm )
you select the virtual midi device (midiyoke) as your midi-out in ableton , and rerout it afterwards to your different real midi outputs

sorry, i should have said : i was too lazy to make it work
in fact i found another solution
but midiox/yoke are very useful programs

i should also note that if you want to spend some cash (129$) , you should definitly check out MIDIOVERLAN CP (
http://www.musiclab.com/products/rpl_info.htm).
it's a program like midiyoke , but more recent , with a friendlier interface , and most of all: LAN SUPPORT
--> you can send midi signals to other PC's on the network !!!
- run a laptop as dedicated software sampler / synth / stepsequencer / ...
- sync up 2 ableton's so you can jam with a friend
- ...
and all this without any midi cables
