org-drill sets properties on each drill headline, to keep track of
your progress while learning that item.  So, I'm not sure it would be
easy to do without maintaining two files.

One idea could be to have a function that creates (and updates/merges)
an org-drill file from the normal file that you use for export.
org-drill ships with functions [1] for merging two drill
files/buffers.

Paul, the author of org-drill, may have better ideas, though.
