This seems like a job for some javascript. You want the list of items in a select box to change depending on the value of something else, which is presumably a checkbox or radio button. The only way to make that happen dynamically - without getting the user to save the form and reload the page - would be with javascript.

You can load custom javascript in a model's admin page by using the ModelAdmin's Media class, documented here.
