You can put the block in a \vbox (or \noindent\parbox{linewidth}). The drawback is that you don't keep baselines in registration, but if you put some vspace around it, it won't matter.

Another way is to use \samepage, which prevents most breaks, plus \@setpar to prevent breaks between paragraphs.

\newenvironment{blah}{\par
 \samepage
 \@setpar{\@@par\nobreak}%
}{%
 \par
 \allowbreak
}
