Please see the section on custom web part properties.

Short version:

• Textbox - String/Int
• DropDownList - enum
• Checkbox - bool

Alternatively, if you are looking for more functionality, take a look at EditorParts. This link is for 2007, but it should work the same way. Notice that YOU control the markup that is written to the edit mode properties of the web part.
