Ah, I see.  Well, you could do something along these lines (completely
untested and likely to be wrong...):

#+latex_header: \newcommand{\mysection}[1]{\section*{#1}\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{#1}}

and similar for subsection, subsubsection, ...

Then customise org-latex-classes and replace, for instance,
\\section*{%s} by \\mysection{%s}.

However, you'll probably need to put a bit more TeX in the
addcontentsline bit if you want some proper formatting (have a look at
latex.ltx [around line 5659 in my version of this file] to see how
content lines are handled by default...).

Not trivial but also not impossible!

I would suggest you look at latex-specific fora for answers to the more
general question of generating tables of contents for unnumbered
headings as I can imagine that there are simpler solutions.

HTH,
eric
