There was a post on this list from Russel Adams, that shows how to use
custom LaTeX headers. My setup is derived from that post, and enables
the usage of a commen LaTeX-header for Org export and the rest of my
LaTeX files:

.emacs:

(setq org-export-latex-classes (cons '("myarticle"
      "% BEGIN My Article Defaults
\\input{/home/sebastian/develop/lib/latex/header-pdf.tex}
"

      ("\\rzchapteridx{%s}" . "\\rzchapteridx{%s}")
      ("\\rzsection{%s}{}" . "\\rzsection{%s}")
      ("\\rzsubsection{%s}" . "\\rzsubsection{%s}")
      ("\\rzsubsubsection{%s}" . "\\rzsubsubsection{%s}"))
      org-export-latex-classes))

As you can see here, I include the common header file, and customize
the classes used for headlines on export. Since now the creation of
PDFs is now possible directly from Org-mode (C-c C-e p), this is the
easiest way to do it.

*.org:

#+LaTeX_CLASS: myarticle
