If you just need a different extension, I think this works:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+BIND: org-export-html-extension "goo"

* foo
foo

* bar
bar
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

and there might be a higher-level way to do that too; e.g. if you are
publishing a project, you can set the :html-extension property, but that
is probably going to affect more than the one file. 

Also, I don't know of a way to change the base filename however, and
cursory examination of the code leads me to believe that it is not
possible currently.
