Ahah! Thanks for the tip!
Added the following to my init:
;; use org-block face in verse/quote blocks
(setq org-fontify-quote-and-verse-blocks t)
;; use org-block for smart-quoted text
(defun my-org-smart-quote-fontify ()
"Use org-block face for text between smart quotes."
(font-lock-add-keywords nil
'(("“\\(.*?\\)”" . 'org-block))))
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'my-org-smart-quote-fontify)
;; (remove-hook 'org-mode-hook 'my-org-smart-quote-fontify)
It doesn't work across newlines, but that's alright for now.
