You should consider to override the Enumeration.cshtml shape with your own.

In this file, the header contains the logical of presentation of the selected values:

@using Orchard.Utility.Extensions;
@using System.Linq;
@{
string valueToDisplay = string.Empty;
string[] selectedValues = Model.ContentField.SelectedValues;
if (selectedValues != null) {
    string valueFormat = T("{0}").ToString();
    string[] translatedValues = selectedValues.Select(v => string.Format(valueFormat, T(v).Text)).ToArray();
    string separator = T(", ").ToString();
    valueToDisplay = string.Join(separator, translatedValues);
}
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(valueToDisplay)) {
    string name = Model.ContentField.DisplayName;
<p class="enumeration-field [email protected]()">
    <span class="name">@name:</span>
    <span class="value">@Html.Raw(valueToDisplay)</span>
</p>

}
}

You can write your options like:

val1,optGroup;val2,optGroup;val3,optGroup2 ...
