Not sure I understand completely what you are trying to do, but you can
do something like this:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* foo
#+LATEX: \begin{foo}
bar
#+LATEX: \end{foo}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
to insert arbitrary LaTeX markup at the indicated places when exporting
to latex. Other exporters will just omit the markup.
