You can definitely add controls dynamically based on various criteria -
in fact I'm in the midst of writing an article for MSDN Online about
this. There's also free survey apps that may be similar to what you're
looking for - they provide an admin page to add questions and whatnot.
The one I've been most impressed with is nSurvey - www.nsurvey.org
