No.
This is explicitly answered in the FAQ, section 3.31.

Nope.

You'd be wrong, and they would be right to not be convinced.
3.31 Can I use a card that requires me to block, to untap against an
action that is directed at someone else?
No.
Cards which require a block attempt as part of their untap effect (2nd
Tradition, Eternal Vigilance, Speak with Spirits, Special Report, The
Mole) cannot be played if your vampires cannot block the action. If
you want to block an action that is directed at someone else, you must
first play an Eagle's Sight or Falcon's Eye before playing a card that
untaps you and requires you to block. In other words, you would first
have to play a Wake with Evening's Freshness or Forced Awakening, then
play the Eagle's Sight or Falcon's Eye to gain the ability to block,
then you could use the untap and block cards.
