Well, I don't think it is much different from having two database clusters,
each with different block size. Hmm, perhaps it could be possible to
make them all available through one "virtual" DB host/port using
pg_pool even. :)
It shouldn't be too difficult to create benchmarks testing performance
of PostgreSQL under different block sizes, I guess. I wonder what
perfromance win is possible...
