Ardour already has a "MIDI clock out" You should be able to "mix" this 
with the midi stream going to the korg if you are using jack midi. 
Connect your normal midi out to the 1010 port going to the korg and then 
connect MIDI clock out to the same 1010 port.

If you are not using a midi channel to do the actual note press input then 
it is only one connection.

Note: I don't have the devices in question so I am just theorizing.
