OK, let's try again.

BLOCKSIZE=1000 ls -s

Actually, this doesn't quite do what one would want, either -- the
remainder is always rounded up, so a file which takes 1024 bytes even
shows up as two 1000-blocks.  However, it does do the right thing for
large block sizes:

wollman@khavrinen$ BLOCKSIZE=1M df /
Filesystem   1M-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/wd0s1a         93       28       56    34%    /
wollman@khavrinen$ BLOCKSIZE=1000000 df /
Filesystem   1000000-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/wd0s1a              97       30       59    34%    /
