I have searched and searched for a way to do this, and I finally figured out a
workaround.
Thanks go out to Koush and AVlev. They deserve all of the credit for developing the apps.
First I downloaded and installed Klaxon:

I then moved the entire contents of \Program Files\Klaxon into the \windows folder. I copied Klaxon.exe to my pc desktop via activesync and renamed it to Clock.exe (explained later)
I changed the two install folders at HKLM\Software\Apps\Koushik Dutta Klaxon
from \Program Files\Klaxon to \Windows
I downloaded and installed this:

As explained in the thread above, this changes the Clock.exe file in the Windows folder to Clock_sys.exe and replaces it with its own Clock.exe. Trick is that the Clock.exe can now be overwritten. I tried several different programs to overwrite this file (i.e. Total Commander) and couldn't.
AFTER INSTALLING THE ABOVE do not click on the clock or try to open it. Once it is opened it becomes a sys file agin and you won't be able to do squat with it (or atleast I couldn't on my ROM).
I then dragged the renamed Clock.exe file from my desktop into the \Windows folder via activesync, and soft reset.
Now when I click on the clock/alarms on the Now screen it brings up Klaxon.
Note: I tried to do this with G-Alarm and it wouldn't work. Clicking the clock in the now screen would bring G-Alarm up, and I could set alarms and change settings, but when an alarm would try to initiate the program would crash.
If someone who knows what they're doing could figure that out it'd be much appreciated.
EDIT: note#2- The standard WM clock settings become accessible from the programs menu after installing the second program
workaround.
