Though Mage Armor is 'force' -- it is tangible. It seems that if the cleric can touch it, he should be able to enhance it.

However, if you can touch something that provides an Armor Class bonus -- then I don't think it's much of leap, to consider it 'Armor'.

magic vestments has to be cast on an actual object of the aproptriate type... although it provides an armor bonus, the field of force is not an object that is either armor or clothing.
