Hi Darwyn,
I'm pretty sure the answer is no (at least that was the conclusion I came to a few years ago when I investigated this question). Maybe there's some new CSS or JavaScript trick I don't know about, though.
Have a good evening!

I believe Paul is correct, and it's likely not easily implemented. My understanding is that HTML only allows text in drop-down lists, so to implement something like this would involve a good amount of javascript.
Can you accomplish what you need using a multiple choice object with radio buttons?
One time I wanted this for a statistics question where the choices were \mu, \bar{x}, \neq and similar stats related characters. I was lucky, in that there are unicode characters for these things, and LaTeX was not necessary. Depending on your needs, unicode characters might work for you too. (I tend to make drop down menus only for very short options. Otherwise I use check boxes.)
I ended up using check boxes, as suggested. Thanks for the help!
