This would be very difficult to achieve.  But note that you can part  
of it
by setting

   (setq org-pretty-entities t)

This will give UTF8 display of many math symbols - imperfect
though for your example....

To get dollars from org-cdlatex-mode, you could cheat by setting

(setq org-cdlatex-texmathp-advice-is-done t)

very early in .emacs, before any Org mode stuff gets loaded....
