The command for setting a section level entry in the toc is called  
\l at section. If your appendices contain only sections then the following  
works:

\documentclass{article}

\makeatletter
\newcommand\removepagenumbers{%
    \expandafter\renewcommand\expandafter\l at section
    \expandafter[\expandafter2\expandafter]\expandafter{\l at section{##1}{}}%
}
\makeatother
\begin{document}

\tableofcontents

\section{Main}  Text. \clearpage

\section{Main}  Text. \clearpage

\section{Main}  Text. \clearpage

\section{Main}  Text. \clearpage

\appendix

\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\removepagenumbers}

\section{Appendix}  Text. \clearpage

\end{document}
