I don't know much about LaTeX, but in org-mode you can use blocks like:

#+BEGIN_QUOTE
quoted text
goes here
#+END_QUOTE

You also get the blocks BEGIN_EXAMPLE, BEGIN_VERSE, BEGIN_CENTER and
BEGIN_SRC which I would guess might export as something close to what
you want...  But then I've never tried, so YMMV =)
