There are many different ways you could implement this. Unfortunately, none of them are point-and-click via the form designer or form layout tool in the GUI with 5.1. You'll have to do it with a small customization and some client-side JavaScript.

One approach is to use the Share form configuration XML to point each of those three fields at a custom form control. Custom form controls are just freemarker templates, which are kind of like JSPs.

On the custom form control, you can add some JavaScript. That JavaScript can use something like JQuery to manipulate the DOM based on the values selected. For example, you could have a function that binds to the dropdown's onChange event, and then shows or hides the DIVs that wrap the other two fields accordingly.

If you or someone on your team knows JavaScript and JQuery, this should be a fairly straightforward little customization.
