There is no way to customize `org-confirm-evaluate' to achieve this
behavior, however it can be accomplished through creative use of the
:eval header argument, by using the `org-export-current-backend'
variable to inhibit evaluation during export.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :eval (if org-export-current-backend "never" "yes") 
:exports results
  (message "launch missles")
#+end_src
