In Portuguese it's even weirder -- only numbers ending with 1 or 2 have gender.

In Czech it is similiar.
one can be said "jedna(one) w", "jeden(one) m", "jednu(one) w", "jedno(one) IT" and yes we have man/woman/IT :-)
two can be said "dve(two) w", "dva(two) m"

other numbers are like in english

English is one of few languages in which inanimate objects don't have a gender. I understand German is another. Most languages, including the Romance languages (French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, etc.), Arabic, and Hebrew, will need multiple ways to say numbers.

Is this like in Spanish we have "primero" and "primera" whereas in
English we only have "first"?

Also in Spanish we have "un", "uno" and "una" for English "a" or "one".
Phrases like "a son", "one son", "a daughter", "one daughter" are
handled differently. Is this the case for Hebrew?

Yes.
