You can't: org-export-preprocess-string (in lisp/org-exp.el) contains a
call to untabify:

      (untabify (point-min) (point-max))

which converts tabs to spaces, no questions asked. I don't know why that
is, so maybe Bastien or Carsten can tell us the reason.

If you are feeling adventurous, you might want to try commenting out
that call and see what, if anything, breaks.
