Is there any way via third party modules to have different workflow permissions for a node type based on the role that is submitting the content? What I want is to have any blog posts by anyone in a special role automatically promoted to the front page while other blog posts are kept off the front page.

I know I could use a different node type, but I also want those auto-promoted blog entries to show up in the blogs of the users who posted them.

I have a few front-page contributors who use blogging tools to publish entries on the go, but right now they still have to visit the site at some point and promote their posts to the front page.

You can use the hook_nodeapi function and access the roles for the user like this:

foreach ($user->roles as $role) {
  switch ($role) {
    case 'blogger':
      /*do something*/;
      break;
  }
}
