I think you need something like this:

      dojo.connect(s1, 'onChange', function(value) {

      console.log(value); // selected in s1 value

      s2.addOption([{ 
        label: "new option1", value: 1
      },
      { 
        label: "new option2", value: 2
      },
      { 
        label: "new option3", value: 3
      }]);
    });

In this example above, when selected value of s1 changes, we load 3 new options into s2. You can pass only one option to addOption method instead of array:

    s2.addOption({ label: "new option1", value: 1 }

Probably, you also wish to clear s2 first:

    s2.options = [];

DropDownSelect has an "onChange" method which you can pass an anonymous function that builds the option list for the second select using something like addOption:

var s1 = new dojox.form.DropDownSelect();
var s2 = new dojox.form.DropDownSelect();
s1.onChange(function() {
  s2.addOption(new Option("text","value"));
});
