I want to add page numbers to the header of my document in Apple Pages '09. However, I would like the page numbering to start on page five; i.e. I want pages 1-4 to have no numbers, and for page #1 to start on page five. Is there any way to do this? I tried creating section breaks, but that has no effect on page numbers.

It appears that while a Layout Break has the option to start a new page or not start a new page,
a Section Break always starts a new page. Thus, the header at the top of the page is always from the same section as the footer at the bottom of the page.
You can't!
You can't insert a section break in a layout document because layout documents don't have sections; each page it its own section. See Creating Sections:
In a page layout document, each page is one section. You can use the predefined sections as they are, or you can modify or remove them one page at a time.

This just worked for me.
Create your you four pages.
Click on the last page (4) and then 'insert' a section break.
Now with page 5 selected ( click inside page)
Go to the 'Layout inspector' and set it to:
Insert Autopage Numbers. Settings:
You can now insert more pages and the numbers continue.
The first 4 pages have no numbers. And page 5 starts from 1 with the rest continuing on consecutively
