I've had a similar problem in the past, where we wanted the user to input as many phone numbers as they were comfortable with, plus an email address. We had to have at least one of these to continue.
My solution was to have a section (e.g. a fieldset) called "Contact details" with an instruction under the heading which says "You must provide at least one of the following." Then, the phone numbers we asked for were daytime hours, after hours and mobile. We let people put any sort of number into any field (e.g. daytime hours could be a mobile). One other comment: Todd's "add field" pattern is nice, but not accessible if you've got scripting turned off. Standard AJAX versus accessibility problem really. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
