If you don't mind re-loading the parent form, assign a variable to the checkbox (in a form):
<input type=checkbox value="checked" name="pizza">

Then, on submit, have the parent form as the action. In this way, you will now have access to $pizza in your parent form.

Now right the parent form so that under the list box you have something like:

<?php 
if ($pizza == "checked")
{
  echo "<option>Pizza</option>\n"
}
?>

If you don't want to have to reload the form, then you are looking at some combination of php and java (heavier on the java side to allow for the automatic refresh of the form).

use window.opener() method of javascript.

e.g. in popup:
<script>
window.opener.document.MainPageForm.MainPageText.value="ASD"
</script>

the abive will set the value of a field called MainPageText to "ASD" in the main page / parent page...
