By default Org-mode exports to numbered LaTeX headings. For example, the following
#+title: Test
* Introduction
* Heading
* Heading
* References
exports to
\section{Introduction}
\label{sec-1}
\section{Heading}
\label{sec-2}
\section{Heading}
\label{sec-3}
\section{References}
\label{sec-4}
It is possible to disable numbering for all LaTeX headings by adding #+options: num:nil
as in
#+title: Test
#+options: num:nil
* Introduction
* Heading
* Heading
* References
which exports to
\section*{Introduction}
\label{sec-1}
\section*{Heading}
\label{sec-2}
\section*{Heading}
\label{sec-3}
\section*{References}
\label{sec-4}
Note that \section*
is a LaTeX macro for unnumbered section.
Is it possible to tell Org-mode to not number particular headings, i.e. via editing the properties of headings? For example, is it possible to get the following LaTeX exported from Org-mode:
\section*{Introduction}
\label{sec-1}
\section{Heading}
\label{sec-2}
\section{Heading}
\label{sec-3}
\section*{References}
\label{sec-4}
I am running Org-mode 7.6 in Emacs 23.3.1.

You need
org-mode
8.3 to do this.From ORG-NEWS
For example
produces
Edit: Since I wrote this the naming scheme of labels changed, so labels would look different these days.
Edit2: One can set headline properties easily with
C-c C-x p
