Hi,

I am not going to make this happen by default, but you can now  
configure things (with the latest git version:

In the Org file:

#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{color}
#+LATEX_HEADER: \def\todo#1{{\color{red}#1}}
#+LATEX_HEADER: \def\done#1{{\color{green}#1}}



In .emacs

(setq org-export-latex-todo-keyword-markup '("\\todo{%s}" . "\ 
\done{%s}"))


It is also possible to use different colors for each keyword.

See also the variables

  org-export-latex-timestamp-keyword-markup
  org-export-latex-timestamp-markup
