you can create something very similar, not necessarily classless.
simply redirect reverse names via CNAME to other zone. 
very standard.

what's the point of redirecting reverse DNS to blackholes?

you just showed how parent zone (2.0.192.in-addr.arpa) must be configured for it.

what you describe is how dj bernstein proposed reverse delegation.
However it's much better to define subzone and redirect records via CNAMEs
to it. it's easier to define one subzone with a few NS records pointing to
it and replace each PTR with CNAME than replace each PTR with multiple NSes.
