You can configure Etherchannel/PAgP from the blade switch to a VSS system*

*2 6500s with a VSL link between them

The blade server switch would think it was connected to a single device.

Here is a nice whitepaper:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/switches/ps5718/ps9336/prod_white_paper0900aecd806ee2ed.html

Current Blade switches can connect upstream two two VSS enabled switches and treat those two connections as an Etherchannel. Downstream, the two swtiches can not be etherchannelled together.
