Seems to be a publishing thingie only. Adding a publishing project

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
        ...
        ("foo"
         :base-directory "~/src/org/latex/index/"
         :publishing-directory "~/src/org/latex/index"
         :publishing-function org-publish-org-to-latex
         :makeindex t
        )
        ...
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

to org-publish-project-alist and publishing the following org file

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

#+INDEX: foo


* this

is a test of foo
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


generates \index{foo} in the TeX file.
