Sure. Something like:

<myField>
   <TCEforms>
     <label>LLL:EXT:myExt/pi1/locallang.xml:flexform.myField</label>
     <config>
       <type>select</type>
       <items type="array">
         <numIndex index="0" type="array">
           <numIndex index="0">--</numIndex>
           <numIndex index="1"></numIndex>
         </numIndex>
       </items>
       <itemsProcFunc>tx_myext_userfunc->getMyFieldList</itemsProcFunc>
       <allowNonIdValues>1</allowNonIdValues>
       <size>10</size>
       <maxitems>20</maxitems>
       <minitems>0</minitems>
     </config>
   </TCEforms>
</myField>

will do the job. Look up the various possibilities in the TCA documentation.
