Yeah that is pretty sweet. Except that...
It's a waste. You *still* absolutely have to do proper server-side
validation. Client-side validation is trivial to circumvent.
Although, security issues aside, I guess it could help to prevent
mistakes from your users. Would it make things easier for the user or
frustrating?

I'd go this route. I would do it on blur because I seem to recall FF not
recognizing onchange in certain cases.
js:
// set the default field mask
$('#cc_field').maskedinput('visamc_mask');
// now change the mask if necessary
$('#selectbox').blur(function () {
// is it this.value?
if(this.value == 'amex')
{
$('#cc_field').maskedinput("...");
}
});
