Originally my fault for pointing out that this was possible (for latex
and html backends, anyway) without any special abstract handling. :-)

One can fold a block manually. However, it won't be automatically folded
when a file is opened or when when cycling the whole buffer through
folding states with C-u TAB. If these matter to you (I gather that you
have to write long abstracts), you may need to use the ignore trick
Thomas Dye referred to.

You can name a block and reference it by name.

#+name: theabstract
#+begin_abstract
  ...
#+end_abstract

See [[theabstract][the abstract]].

You can control placement with a #+TOC: line. Do you need to do
something more?

An OS X upgrade just nuked my unix toolchains, including latex, so I
haven't checked how things work there.
