This is kind of close:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(yas-global-mode)
(with-temp-buffer
  (insert "# name : my-fortune
# key: myf
# expand-env: ((yas-indent-line nil)
# --

#+BEGIN_QUOTE:
${1:`(shell-command-to-string \"fortune\")`}
#END_QUOTE

$0
")
  (yas-load-snippet-buffer-and-close 'org-mode))
#+END_SRC

For some reason it is inserting some extra spaces before # for me, and I
cannot figure out why.
