If done in a VF Page, textbox can be disabled which can restrict a user in entering a value.
Else, If you are working on a standard detail page. You can achieve this via a Validation rule, which can make sure that a user enters a value when required. And that textbox would be always in ENABLED mode which would be optional while any values are selected.
ISPICKVAL(PicklistField,'Other') & ISBLANK(TextboxField) - This will throw an error if textbox is left blank when other is selected.
You can also set a validation rule if you want the textbox to be left blank for any values in picklist.
