[ I started this earlier but I guess I didn't send it out. Suvayu has
replied in the meantime with a pointer to a better solution than this
one, but this might be of some minor interest to some people as well -
besides, I spent a whole 20 minutes on it, half of it trying to figure
out why my mail was not working :-( : why let that effort go to
waste?:-) ]

Depends on how much customization you are willing to go through: there is an
enumerate.sty package in LaTeX that can do that:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
...
\usepackage{enumerate}
...
\begin{enumerate}[(1)]
\item foo
\item bar
\end{enumerate}
...
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Inserting the \usepackage from the org file is no problem:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{enumerate}
...
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Getting the argument to the enumerate environment in the right place is
another matter. I think the only way is to redefine org-list-generic-to-latex
like this (add this to your initialization file, .emacs or whatever, after you
load org):
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(require 'org-list)
(defun org-list-to-latex (list &optional params)
"Convert LIST into a LaTeX list.
LIST is as returned by `org-list-parse-list'. PARAMS is a property list
with overruling parameters for `org-list-to-generic'."
(org-list-to-generic
list
(org-combine-plists
'(:splice nil :ostart "\\begin{enumerate}[(1)]\n" :oend "\\end{enumerate}"
:ustart "\\begin{itemize}\n" :uend "\\end{itemize}"
:dstart "\\begin{description}\n" :dend "\\end{description}"
:dtstart "[" :dtend "] "
:istart "\\item " :iend "\n"
:icount (let ((enum (nth depth '("i" "ii" "iii" "iv"))))
(if enum
;; LaTeX increments counter just before
;; using it, so set it to the desired
;; value, minus one.
(format "\\setcounter{enum%s}{%s}\n\\item "
enum (1- counter))
"\\item "))
:csep "\n"
:cbon "\\texttt{[X]}" :cboff "\\texttt{[ ]}"
:cbtrans "$\\boxminus$")
params)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
The only change is the definition of :ostart. Not a very flexible method,
but it will serve in a pinch. ngz et al. might have better ideas.
I should say that there are other ways to customize enumeration labels
in LaTeX - see e.g. http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=enumerate -
but afaict they would all require some rewiring of the above function, similar
to the above.
