You can override clean method for this:

class MeForm(forms.Form):
    hi = forms.CharField(max_length=100, required=False)
    by = forms.CharField(max_length=100, required=False)

    def clean(self):
        hi = self.cleaned_data.get('hi')
        by = self.cleaned_data.get('by')
        if not hi and not by:
            raise forms.ValidationError('One of fields is required')
        return self.cleaned_data
