I don't believe this is true. I believe Veritas automatically scales it's default block size depending on the size of the partitiion you create, either 1k, 2k, 4k or 8k depending on the creation size. I would also like to chip in that I run 8k block size and create all my file systems with 8k block size specified. I may just be the exception.
