All you have to do is set the variable org-latex-to-pdf-process,
something like this [fn:1]
(setq org-latex-to-pdf-process
'("pdflatex %f"
"if [ -f %b.sagetex.sage ] ;then sage %b.sagetex.sage ;fi"
"pdflatex %f"
"pdflatex %f"))
although as Achim Gratz pointed out in this thread:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/58928
it's probably better to use the Customization interface, particularly if
one is an elisp beginner - do C-h v org-latex-to-pdf-process RET, read the
documentation for the variable and then click the customize link at the bottom
to get to the customization page.

Footnotes:
[fn:1] Note that the default setting for this variable is three invocations of
pdflatex, so I'm just interpolating a call to sage.
