You could start a new Emacs evaluating some code in a subprocess, with
`start-process' and collect return value. You may want to have a look at
`org-export-async-start' or "async.el" library in ELPA.
Unfortunately, it is not yet possible to re-use the latter in Org code,
since it is unavailable in vanilla Emacs.
The hard part, IMO, is to bring the right context in the subprocess
(e.g., the environment should be the same, other blocks may be needed,
etc.).
Regards,
