Actually, I was picturing doing this in between /frames/, not blocks.
Since you're in a frame, you can just write the LaTeX syntax directly
inside of your frame headline?

-------------------
* Frame 1
\begin{block}{Block 1}

\end{block}

\vfill

\begin{block}{Block 2}
more stuff
\end{block}

** Frame 2
------------------

What about that?
