I would be nice to add functionality like https://drupal.org/project/select_or_other to selections of option groups. Perhaps when the field is in a profile, it could have a checkbox to enable this functionality.

Agree that would be nice.
One workaround if you are on Drupal and can use a Webform:

Create your custom field in Civi as a simple textfield (no select)
Exposit it to the webform, and change its widget from text to select
Enter the options you want and enable the "or other" (can't remember if this is in webform core or an add-on module)

Thanks for the suggestion, Coleman, you master of webform!

Unfortunately we have a lot of projects on WordPress these days, which is what led to this request.

I figure this forum is where I should post ideas for potential feature requests, right? Or is that bucket somewhere else?

there was this MIH: https://civicrm.org/make-it-happen#'Other' option for custom fields

which did not get funding (yes the MIH page is broken after the switchto https, we'll fix it next week)
