Thanks for your help, Sebb.
I found another way to do this that's awkward, but allows for random
selection and doesn't involve an extra file. I describe here in case
anyone else finds it useful.
Let's say we want to randomly pick one of val_1, val_2, and val_3.
First, we assign each of these values to a differently-named property
with __setProperty in some suitable place (e.g., the User Defined
Variables at the Test Plan level):
${__setProperty(parm_1, val_1,)}
${__setProperty(parm_2, val_2,)}
${__setProperty(parm_3, val_3,)}
Then, we generate the suffix for the parameter name using __Random,
and use __property to look up the value of the parameter with that
suffix:
${__property(parm_${__Random(1,3,)})}
This feels like an abuse of properties, but I can't figure out a way
to dynamically compute the name of a variable and then retrieve its
value... e.g., I can't do
${var_${suffix}}
and there doesn't seem to be a function that takes a variable's name
and returns its value.
Probably __StringFromFile and/or CSV Data Set Config are the way to
go, although it'd be nice to have randomness.

Create a file with the values in random order, and then use CSV
DataSet or __StringFromFile() to read it.
