You will need to hack drupal/civicrm.module, specifically the _block hook and eliminate / expand the check at the beginning of the function

    if ( ( arg(0) != 'civicrm' && arg(0) != 'admin' ) ||
         ( $op == 'configure' ) ) {
        return;
    }

The above code needs to be modified to allow the menu block to appear on the front page

Yes, this is non-standard behavior for drupal blocks. In a very early release of CiviCRM (v1.1 or so), we had quite a few folks complain that they could not figure out how to disable things in drupal and wanted it to be done by default in CiviCRM. Hence this was included as part of civicrm

Not sure whether displaying the blocks on all pages is a good thing for drupal 5 and below since building the blocks loads in some parts of the civicrm framework, and hence there is a performance penalty.

for the short term, i suspect we'll stick with the status quo.
