That is not possible at the current time. You could pre fill the values by hand but not automatically from a database table.

Pity, any plans to make this feature available?

Database backed dropdown is out-of-scope for user fields, however we do support dropdown now!

If you need a fancy custom field that looks up data on a route on the server you will need to build a plugin.
