I use the same characters for Sanskrit. They export just fine to LaTeX.
To type them I have the following in my .emacs:

(define-key global-map [(meta a)] nil) ;;make Alt-a free as a prefix
(define-key org-mode-map [(meta a)] nil)

(defun insert-lang-a ()
(interactive)
(ucs-insert "0101"))
(global-set-key "\M-aa" 'insert-lang-a)

(defun insert-lang-i ()
(interactive)
(ucs-insert "012B"))
(global-set-key "\M-ai" 'insert-lang-i)

This binds a-macron and i-macron to M-aa and M-ai. The same can be done
for all other characters (M-aA = A-macron etc.). 

For LaTeX-export you should set inputenc to utf8x.

Hope it helps

Sven
