Sure, that's a LaTeX, rather than pdflatex issue. I do it this way:

typein[\chaps]{Which sections (or all)?}
\ifthenelse{\equal{\chaps}{all}}{}{\includeonly{\chaps}}

\begin{document}
\include{chap1}
\include{chap2}
\include{chap3}
...

when I process the file with pdflatex, I answer to the prompt "\chaps=" with
the list of chapters that I want to process and pdftex produces a pdf file of
those chapters.
I hope this helps.
