Matt, I don't know of an org specific example of how to do this but I know there are plenty of latex+tikz examples out there (google "timeline latex tikz" for instance). With some simple emacs lisp code, you should be able to convert an org table to suitable input for tikz. If you want a GANTT chart approach instead, check out a posting I made to list back in early October: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/31824 Maybe check that message out in any case for an example of how to work with an org table and create tikz commands for latex export.
