I am also (vim rocks!!!).  There are three things I found out:
1. because Smalltalk methods are ( supposed to be ;-) ) very short i.e. 10 lines or less, vi bindings are still incredible time/attention savers, but the gap isn't nearly as wide as with a traditional text file.
2. there is the SVI project, which I ported to the current version of Squeak, and could probably be ported to Pharo pretty easily, which gives you vi bindings for the tools.
3. Smalltalk systems are totally customizable, so if you decide to make Pharo your home, you could come up with vim-esque bindings appropriate for a Smalltalk image that cause a productivity leap similar to what vim does in text files.

HTH,
