I'm not familiar with markdown and have not seen any emacs specific
support for it. However, have a look at emacs muse mode. It fulfills a
similar role and you may be able to modify/extend it to support
markdown syntax rather than its more wikki inspired syntax. I have
found it a great mode and it will produce output for latex, docbook,
texinfo, pdf, ps, html, xhtml, bloxsome and a heap of others and can
be easily extended. 

emacs muse is also used as the basis for emacs planner mode, which I
find to be a really useful personal information management solution
under emacs.
