I don't think that the services a block provides should be aggregated w.r.t to management. This of course is problematic if there are intra-block dependencies for the provided services!

That's a big IF. Otherwise, you need to have a separate tool/agent which can mangle an MBean's config file. There is no generic tool for doing this.
