Existing (8.0) syntax already offers a way to achieve this using export
snippets, which now allow and require you to specify backends. To
recast your example:

  #+macro: ruby @@html:<ruby> $1<rp>(</rp><rt>$2</rt><rp>)</rp> </ruby>@@@@latex:\ruby{$1}{$2}@@

  Then {{{ruby(東,ひがし)}}} will be expanded appropriately for
  different backends.

Note: I have no idea if the above actually results in appropriate
rubies, it's just to demonstrate the basic principle that you can write:

  #+macro: foo @@html:<foo>$1</foo>@@@@latex:\foo{$1}@@

Yours,
Christian
