You can implement your decorator for Select element that generates HTML for select with unescaped value. For example:

class My_Select_Decorator extends Zend_Form_Decorator_Abstract
{
    public function render($content)
    {
        $element = $this->getElement();
        // Generate HTML markup
        return $markup;
    }
}
