Depending on which saxes you use, they are a possibility (I would suggest using soprano sax for the 1st violin part, if you are going to use saxes.)
Other possibilities, depending on the scoring of the original, would be to create separate clarinet parts for the violins and violas. So you can have the original Clarinet 1 and 2 (or whatever) and then add Clarinet 3, 4, for the violins and have a Clarinet 5 to cover the viola, or use Alto clarinet to cover the viola and bass clarinet to cover the cello.
