Writing your own form theming function.

themename_formid() (etc...)

Another simpler (for css wizards) way would be to define a style for
a particular field, put a div around it (#prefix, #suffix), subclass
form-item in your css eventually and made it so that you don't have a
"new line after "Other".

I'd advise to skip completely the checkbox [] Other and just leave
the open text field... if people write there... well it as if they
checked other... and the form is faster to fill even if a bit more
complex to do stats on it.
