Try this:

location / { 
    if ($is_args) {
        proxy_pass http://blog.foobar.com; # wordpress
    }
    proxy_pass http://www.foobar.com; # django
}

However, what would make a lot more sense is to setup wordpress as
either a subdomain or under /blog or something.   Then you could just
have a separate server section or location.
