There is an HTML tag you can use called OPTGROUP which gives you this ability. Here's a sample:

<select>
<optgroup label="Numbers">
<option label="1">1</option>
<option label="2">2</option>
<option label="3">3</option>
</optgroup>
<optgroup label="Letters">
<option label="A">A</option>
<option label="B">B</option>
<option label="C">C</option>
</optgroup>
</select>

Using the OPTGROUP element is pretty straight forward, but there are some nuances between browsers. I've written up an article here: http://www.braintrove.com/default.aspx?p=4&s=1&i=18
