Simply create a new style definition with the following option:
ConversionRules -> {"HTML" -> Identity}.

The complete way to do this would be to set up a new style sheet
that extends whatever style sheet you want and includes the extra
style.  Here's a snippet of code that illustrates the idea, though:

HTMLVerbatimDef = Notebook[{Cell[StyleData["HTMLVerbatim"],
  ConversionRules -> {"HTML" -> Identity}]}];
nb = CreateDocument[{TextCell[
  "<a href=\"blah.html\">blah</a>\"", "HTMLVerbatim"]},
   StyleDefinitions -> HTMLVerbatimDef];

That code should generate a new notebook with a single cell
containing some HTML.  The cell is in the newly defined
HTMLVerbatim style.  You can view the HTML that is generated
as follows:

ExportString[nb, "HTML"]

You should see that the HTML has been copied verbatim:
<a href="blah.html">blah</a>"

By contrast, a simple Text cell in a Default style document
would yield:
&lt;a href=&quot;blah.html&quot;&gt;blah&lt;/a&gt;&quot;

Hope that helps,
Mark McClure
