Hi Erik, Currently there is not (to my knowledge) any support for asynchronous code block evaluation. The one possible exception could be ob-screen which I mention only because I don't really know anything about it.
This would certainly be a worthwhile feature to add to Org-mode code blocks, however a good implementation (easy to use, robust and cross-language) will be non-trivial to implement.
