Thanks for the suggestion. I'm not a huge fan, but it would get done what I
want to accomplish as far as the export goes.

Yeah.. most of my todos aren't medium-sized projects, though. Many of them
are more along the lines of one-liner action items I need to jot to myself
so I don't forget as well as keeping them as a sort of rolling "next
actions" queue. For that reason, I'd much rather keep them in their original
context.
This can't be too hard.
,---
| sed '/[*]* TODO/ s/$/ :noexport:/g'
`---
Or (facetious)
,---
| setq (prefix-for-noexport-custom-variable)
| setq (default-tags-for-no-export-variable)
`---
I just don't know what the elegant, "right" elisp/org method is for
something like this.
