You could do it with php.
Here's an example (http://bonrouge.com/test/randselect.php):

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Random selected option</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<style type="text/css">
body {
margin:0;
padding:0;
background-color:#fff;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>
<select>
<?php
$option=array ("one","two","three");
$rand=rand(0,count($option)-1);
$i=0;
while ($i<count($option)) {
echo "
<option value=\"$option[$i]\"".(($i==$rand)? ' selected="selected"':'').">$option[$i]</option>";
$i++;
}
?>
</select>
</p>
</body>
</html>
