Great minds think alike.
I was planning to include something very like it - will be in the next release as well. (I love when I can say that).
My original idea was that The Custom Fields module will contain a new field type that lets you pull all its values from a field in another form. There will be a few options for this field type: including sort order, removing duplicates and display type (select / radios / checkboxes / multi-select). This will effectively create a Field Option Group (soon to be called "Option Lists" btw) with dynamic contents.
But perhaps your idea of just having an option on the existing field types (select / radios etc) to pull from another field would be simpler.
I'll have to think about this some more.
