You can add most of these keywords to the properties of a subtree by
prepending them with 'export_'.  I am not sure about the select tags,
though.  Why do you need them to differ between the projects?


Your Example:


--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+TITLE: mytitle
#+AUTHOR: myself

#+DATE: \today
#+LaTeX_CLASS: mybeamer

#+SELECT_TAGS: export
#+EXCLUDE_TAGS: noexport

#+OPTIONS: H:4 toc:nil *:

** project 1
:PROPERTIES:
:header-args:R: :session *mysession1*
:header-args: :cache yes
:EXPORT_TITLE: mytitle 1
:EXPORT_LaTeX_HEADER: \subtitle{mysubtitle 1}
:EXPORT_FILE_NAME: myfile1
:EXPORT_DATE: mydate 1
:EXPORT_LaTeX_CLASS: mybeamer 1
:EXPORT_OPTIONS: H:2 toc:nil
:END:
** project 2
:PROPERTIES:
:header-args:R: :session *mysession2*
:header-args: :cache yes
:EXPORT_TITLE: mytitle 2
:EXPORT_LaTeX_HEADER: \subtitle{mysubtitle 2}
:EXPORT_FILE_NAME: myfile2
:EXPORT_DATE: mydate 2
:EXPORT_LaTeX_CLASS: mybeamer 2
:EXPORT_OPTIONS: H:2 toc:nil
:END:
** project 3
:PROPERTIES:
:header-args:R: :session *mysession3*
:header-args: :cache yes
:EXPORT_TITLE: mytitle 3
:EXPORT_LaTeX_HEADER: \subtitle{mysubtitle 3}
:EXPORT_FILE_NAME: myfile3
:EXPORT_DATE: mydate 3
:EXPORT_LaTeX_CLASS: mybeamer 3
:EXPORT_OPTIONS: H:2 toc:nil
:END:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
