You can use any blocks in the filesystem, assuming you can set up a file as you want it. For example, if you allocate inodes until you get one in a block group of your choice, then create a large enough file there and rename it to "/.journal" in the root of that filesystem, umount, delete the old journal, and then run e2fsck on the filesystem.
