I'd like to selectively disable the IntelliJ IDEA code formatter for a portion of code just like I can in Eclipse. Does IntelliJ support this feature, and if so, how do I use it?

To disable : Settings > Editor > File Types. Select the file type you want to have never formatted.
Press Ctrl+Alt+L/Cmd+Alt+L to automatically fix code formatting in a file.
Code formatting provides you with many opportunities to subtly communicate your intent to a reader. Far from being a backwater best left to draconian "style guides", code formatting is often your reader's first encounter with your system. It deserves attention and care.

Preferences > Editor > Code Style > Formatter Control
You can change the formatter control markers, as long as they're in comments.
Ensure formatter markers in comments are enabled, as shown in the following figure:
