Instead of adding toc entries, you can use latex to delete section
numbers:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+LATEX_HEADER: \setcounter{secnumdepth}{0}
* foo
This is foo.
** subfoo1
This is foo.1
** subfoo2
This is foo.2
* bar
This is bar.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
The problem might be that the sections are not numbered in the TOC
either. But if you don't care about that, this is certainly simpler
than adding toc entries by hand.
