Sure. You can use this code as the custom validation script of the drop-down field:

if (event.value=="Some value") app.alert("Some message text.",3);

Make sure to tick the box to commit the selected value immediately (under Properties - Options), so that it show the message as soon as you make the selection. Otherwise it will only appear when you exit the field.
