IMHO, it would be nice to have a customizable
org-export-user-smart-quote-alist as already mentioned by Rasmus.  This
would give the maximal flexibility to comply with this wish and similar wishes.

BUT in this concrete case, the problem can be tackled from the LaTeX
side as well.  Section 10.8 of the documentation of the csquote package
shows a way for documents with only one language:

\documentclass{...}
\usepackage[german]{babel}
\usepackage[babel=once]{csquotes}
\defineshorthand{"`}{\openautoquote}
\defineshorthand{"'}{\closeautoquote}

Best regards
