Thanks Tim. Very helpful indeed!
The following org-mode line does the job for me:
#+latex_header: \ifx\alert\undefined\let\alert\textbf\fi
If \alert is not defined, I have =alert= behave as =textbf=.
Alternatively, something like this also works:
#+latex_header: \ifx\alert\undefined\newcommand*{\alert}[1]{\textbf{#1}}\fi
in case one wants more control (e.g. could also change the colour to red).
