I tend to do something like this:

#+begin_src org
  ,* (new page)                               :ignoreheading:
  ,#+latex: \newpage
#+end_src

in conjunction with this export hook:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (defun esf/remove-lines-with-ignore-heading-tag (backend)
    (message "Deleting lines with ignore heading tag")
    (while (search-forward-regexp "^\\*+.*[ \t]+[a-ZA-Z0-9:]*:ignoreheading:[a-ZA-Z0-9:]*$" (point-max) t)
      (cond
       ((eq backend 'latex) (replace-match "#+latex: % \\&" ))
       ((eq backend 'html) (replace-match "#+html: <!-- \\& -->" ))
       (t (replace-match "")))))
  (add-hook 'org-export-before-processing-hook 'esf/remove-lines-with-ignore-heading-tag)
#+end_src

I use the ignoreheading kludge a lot for structuring documents that will be exported.

Obviously change "newpage" for "appendix" in the above example...
