Hmm, I think one would still like to be able to make text
bold and italic as well?  So I don't think one should use * or /.
How about the exclamation mark?

I guess the easiest would be to add to the two variables org-emphasis- 
alist
and org-export-emphasis-alist.

To the former your could add (maybe use other HTML tags)

    ("!" org-warning "<b>" "</b>")

and to the latter

    ("!" "\\alert{%s}" nil)

You might have to restart Emacs before these work.
