I wouldn't play baritone sax, but I've been told that tenor sax doesn't negatively affect the clarinet embouchure. Actually, trumpet is a good secondary instrument for clarinetists to strengthen the lips and learn to pull their teeth apart (vertically) while keeping the lips together.

As far as endurance, do breathing exercises, make sure you don't bite (use a flexible embouchure), and make sure to take short breaks in long practice sessions. For physical comfort, there are mouthpiece patches, pads of all sorts which can be placed between lips and teeth, and there are neckstraps if instrument support becomes an issue.
