Thinking about it, the cam sensor hole is perhaps a little higher than the old fuel pump hole *oh well*. I see no harm drilling a hole in the skirt of the block.

as mentioned there is the cam sensor hole,

or if your not using the speedo it can go in the speedo take off,

I have seen breathers put through the block next to the cam sensor too,

other than that the next easiest would be to tap a hole in the gearbox.

just curious: where do you plan to get oil supply to the turbo from? I'm thinking of building an MPI-block based turbo engine but this appears to be a problem?

I'm using an MPi block for my build. Carl is tapping the hole to something suitable so I can bung it up. Nothing stopping you threading some tube and putting it in there.

1/2" NPT hole now in the back of the block for mine. LOL, thats just another 1 out of 2 holes extra to what seems like another thousand holes I have drilled in this block already.
