Of doing what? You can always write raw LaTeX in an Org buffer.
#+begin_latex
...
the whole threeparttable stuff
...
#+end_latex
You can also build something with special blocks:
#+begin_threeparttable
...
tabular with Org syntax
...
#+begin_tablenotes
... probably some raw LaTeX...
#+end_tablenotes
#+end_threeparttable
Moreover, footnotes can give you almost the same result.

I don't know. AFAICT your problem is not clearly defined. But it seems
that you already have a couple solutions to experiment first.
