In addition to the solution Charles posted, it is possible to put
arbitrary elisp forms into header arguments, so the following
alternative to your block above will create the directory (if it doesn't
already exist) whenever the block is tangled or evaluated.

#+begin_src clojure :tangle (prog1 "src/foo.clj" (make-directory "src" "."))
  (ns foo)
  
  (defn my-inc [x]
    (+ x 1))
#+end_src
