Not that I'm aware of.  You can use a function like the following to
achieve this - or maybe you can use yasnippets (I've never tried that
yet)

------------------------------------------------------------------------
(defun bth-begin-example ()
  (interactive)
  (save-excursion
    (beginning-of-line)
    (insert "#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE\n")
    (end-of-line)
    (insert "\n#+END_EXAMPLE")))


(global-set-key (kbd "<f9> e") 'bth-begin-example)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then you can just type <f9> e while on a line and it'll put the EXAMPLE
block around the current line.

HTH,
