I would suggest to add a new category type:

<ProductCategoryType description="Google Base" hasTable="N"  
parentTypeId="" productCategoryTypeId="GOOGLE_BASE_CATEGORY"/>

and then define ProductCategory (of that type) that will match with  
the ones in Google.
Then the export service will retrieve them and create "g:product_type"  
elements.
