On Windows, ctrl+q will get you the Visual Block selection.

EDIT: I think it also works on Linux... Sitting on my Windows box, at the moment, so I can't test it.

It does (both on Windows and Linux), but gVim still uses v and V for the other two Visual modes, rather than q and Q. It drives me nuts!
