You're right, you'll lose the PR entirely, since all the existing backlinks will point to the blogspot URL.
That said, you can contact the owners of those links and ask them to update them to the new domain. Most site owners are willing to do that for a fellow blogger, and some directories allow you to edit the URL in your entry. If you have some backlinks in articles, see if you can edit those, too.
So don't give up the backlinks without a fight. Make an attempt to get most of them switched over once the new domain is up and running, and then you should see your PR transfer over at the next update.
