sure, in javascript make an if tree (Remember it's 'else if' with the space)
or switch-case construct,

inside each case put the PHP code for the desired constructor...

if(document.formname["controlname"].value) == "X")
{
<?
	var $classX = new classX($parm);
?>
}
else if(document.formname["controlname"].value) == "Y")
{
<? 
	var $classX = new classY($parm);
?>
}
else
{
...
}

Syntax might be wrong a smidge here of there, YMMV.
