Nothing pretty.
1) You can use a wierd default where clause, e.g. empid in (select min(empid) from emp

                  group by deptno))

2) You could hook your block to a view.
3) And for the truely twisted, you can relay on the fact that forms does not display records where a pop list fails. Put in a poplist that is not displayed in the block connected to empid with only the values from 1) in it.
I.M. Snyder figured that one out.

Solution 3) avoids the subquery so may be faster in some cases.
