Here is example update code based on DOM:

// get value of #one
var v = document.getElementById("one").value;

// get select #two
var sel = document.getElementById("two");

// remove all options
while (sel.childNodes.length > 0) {
    sel.removeChild(sel.childNodes[0]);
}

// add 2 new options
var o1 = document.createElement('option');
o1.innerHTML = v + '-one';
sel.appendChild(o1);

var o2 = document.createElement('option');
o2.innerHTML = v + '-two';
sel.appendChild(o2);

// update chosen
Event.fire($("two"), "liszt:updated");
