I have tried to find a solution for that too but never succeeded. You can build the query as a string and then run EXECUTE IMMEDIATE, see http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14261/dynamic.htm#i14500.

That said, it just occurred to me that the argument of an IN clause can be a sub-select:

SELECT * FROM users 
WHERE user_id IN (SELECT something FROM somewhere)

so, is it possible to expose the checkbox values as a stored function? Then you might be able to do something like

SELECT * FROM users
WHERE user_id IN (SELECT my_package.checkbox_func FROM dual)
