Seems to!  Thanks.  I have done the following:
#+begin_src org
  ,#+title: Testing setq-loccal
  ,#+latex_class: esftest
  ,* settings                                                                   
   :noexport:
  ,#+name: startup
  ,#+begin_src emacs-lisp :results none
    (setq-local org-latex-classes '(("esftest" "\\documentclass{scrartcl}" 
("\\section*{%s}" . "\\section*{%s}") ("\\subsection{%s}" . 
"\\subsection*{%s}") ("\\subsubsection{%s}" . "\\subsubsection*{%s}") 
("\\paragraph{%s}" . "\\paragraph*{%s}") ("\\subparagraph{%s}" . 
"\\subparagraph*{%s}"))))
  ,#+end_src

  # Local Variables:
  # eval: (esf/execute-startup-block)
  # End:
#+end_src
where esf/execute-startup-block executes the src block named "startup".

The issue is complicated by the fact that exporters generate a new
buffer which has its own variables (hence the use of #+bind:) so some
variables should be set using bind but others potentially using
setq-local.

Thanks again,
eric
