As far as the "simplify key" command in Finale is concerned, 6 sharps is as "simple" as 6 flats. Combining this command with the correct transposition for producing Gb major in E major sections (a diminished third instead of a major second) should provide you with what you need. If you set the Bb clarinet transposition to:
Simplify Key Interval: 2 Key Alter: -10 you should get all E major sections transposed to Gb major and all sections in other keys with the minimum number of accidentals in the key signature.
