If one has 

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq org-export-with-TeX-macros t)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

then I believe something like

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\rdquo This is a quoted text \ldquo 
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

will do the trick. FWIW, a dump of quotations section in
org-entities.el.
