Maybe...

One option in the style of DocBook is to use a particular attribute
(e.g. 'role') to trigger specific template handling in your own driver
file. However, there may be an existing mechanism that you can use.
If you have <mediaobject> with no <imageobject>s but with a <textobject>
containing <phrase role="latex">, you can insert actual LaTeX commands
(untested):

<mediaobject>
    <textobject>
        <phrase role="latex">\your\latex\code</phrase>
    </textobject>
</mediaobject>
