Best I can think of is this:

class MyClass
   def moo(quack_block)
     quack(&quack_block)
   end

   private
     def quack
       puts yield
     end
end

context "description of context" do
   setup do
     @mock = mock("mock")
     @my_object = MyClass.new
   end

   specify "descriptive specification" do
     @mock.should_receive(:woof)
     @my_object.moo(lambda { @mock.woof; "miaow" })
   end
end

Not sure in the real world it would be practical, or even if this is  
a good thing to do, but it seems to work
