I see.  It could be done but it could be kind of inconvenient, I
guess, since currently #+AUTHOR and the default org-koma-letter-author
share the same variable name during export.  You can always disable it
with empty values, although a bit of a hassle (e.g. "#+AUTHOR:\n").

If my memory serves me correctly Viktor decided the order of LCO
values versus file values carefully so he'll have a better idea about
this.

That being said, I can think of two ways to do it. 
 1. use something like
   `org-koma-letter--prepare-special-contents-as-macro' and make an
   ordering dependent on a list like with
   org-koma-letter-special-tags-after-closing.
 2. Test whether a particular value is equal to the default.  But it
    seems like something that could easily go wrong. . .
