You're probably best off using the standard midi for a saxophone - it's one of the more "realistic" (though I use that word hesitantly) midi sounds.
The oboe sounds surprisingly like a soprano saxophone - but probably not in midi. Others to investigate would be clarinet or cor anglais, though they really don't sound much like it.
Trumpets really don't sound anything like the saxophone, but it's just possible your horn plugin may sound a tiny bit like it. If your pipe organ has more than one setting there may be a stopper that sounds vaguely like a saxophone.
Well... the trumpet might be the instrument you're looking for
Oboe, bassoon, and (kind of) clarinet.
A trumpet sounds almost nothing like a saxophone. Your best bet would be to go with another reed instrument.
I think the answer to your question has to be no. The saxophone has a quite unique sound, owing to the combination of a reeded mouthpiece with a brass body. No other instrument is going to provide even a close approximation, with the exception of the oboe / sop. sax pairing already mentioned.
If you're absolutely stuck, try a basset horn, english horn, or bass clarinet.
Good luck.
