Even though my original question was a bit ambiguous, what I meant was 
generating the bibliography from keys. One org input file, output to 
all formats does the right thing.

oolatex produces reasonably good OO output, including bibliography, so 
the org -> LaTeX -> oolatex sequence would work, but, again, seems 
clumsy. Particularly since Jambunathan's ODT export looks so good.
