I have a patch which does some of this: see <http://trac.sagemath.org/ sage_trac/ticket/5555>. It doesn't 'automatically' create macros for anything, but the macros are created using Sage's latex methods; thus \ZZ turns into \mathbf{Z} and \CC turns into (the undefined command) \C. I only have about half a dozen macros right now, but it's easy enough to add more.
