Even if there is a way to use a switch on the OI to select a program, it would seem to violate the intent of the rules regarding autonomous mode. See section 7.3 of the game section.

It's not any harder to do a switch on the robot (just a little less convienent), which is why Rob was suggesting that, because that doesn't violate the intent of the rules (and was even suggested at kickoff).

If you search the forums, you will find several threads about possible "loopholes" in the autonomous mode. You could try implementing these, or you could ask FIRST for clarification about whether exploiting something like that is legal. Nobody knows if these will work at the competition, though, so it's just speculation. So, if you really want to know, make a switch on the OI, and be prepared for it to not work at the competition.
