The Bowtie and Tophat wrappers--which are included in the Galaxy distribution--provide nice examples of this approach.
An easy way to do this is using conditionals and a select parameter.
The select would have two (or more) options like "Default Options" and
"Advanced Options". When "Advanced Options" is selected, then display
the previously hidden options.
